    “The big banks’ acknowledgment that the world is likely to fail at preventing warming of more than 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels is spelled out in obscure reports for clients, investors and trade association members.

        Don’t disrespect the efforts of everyone who tries, despite many governments and companies clearly not doing enough. There are people trying, voting, boycotting, protesting, doing what they can.

          I’m doing the best I can myself despite my disillusionment. And I appreciate everyone who does the same. I wish humanity would unite in facing this threat, but I’m not holding my breath.
