look this is going to sound horrible but -- i was born in 1996, i've been hearing this shit all my life, climate catastrophe, uninhabitable planet....i'm just waiting for a spectacular collapse so i can stop having the background anxiety about it and we can live our lives like in our favorite post-apocalyptic films

Even then it's happening ridiculously fast considering changes of this scale typically happen over tens of thousands of years at least.
