I like to frame it as, even if you can’t avoid crashing into a wall, it still makes a huge difference whether you do it with a 120km/h, 70km/h or 20km/h.

It’s too late to avoid problems; but it’s certainly not too late to take action. This is not a binary yes / no or climate change / no climate change situation. It’s a continuum. We can’t avoid it completely, but the longer we delay action the worse it gets. There is still a lot of room for it to get worse. So reducing emissions is more important now than it has even been, even if some problems are unavoidable.

Well, unfortunately we are looking at the likely scenario of cascading ecosystem failures, quickly leading to most humans on earth starving to death.

Us: ”we work on computers and can easily work from home and have done so for years now being very productive without adding to the emissions of the road use”
Middle managers: “Fuck the earth. I don’t feel like my job is valid unless you’re here so I can micromanage you”
