So yeah. This is probably going to be another humanitarian disaster that the government just allows to happen without making any real effort at relief, isn't it?

The damage being done now is from carbon emitted decades ago.
The carbon of today hasn't even done its damage yet.
If all carbon waste stopped tomorrow, there would still be an environmental reckoning.
Certainly. But the damage inflicted by the carbon released decades ago is destroying the carbon consuming infrastructure of today. And the carbon released today will inflict more damage in the future.
But a smaller one with lesser coat tails
I completely agree with you.
I wasn't arguing "do nothing lol, nihilism is cool amirite guys get shwifty," I was arguing that the situation is so dire that the best we can do is reduce the devastation past what's already locked in and imminent.
That's fair.
