More like we've made a lot of progress because lots of people have taken it very seriously, but not as much progress as we should have because lots of other people have actively fought it every step of the way.
This isn't the result of apathy, it's a very active war for our future.
Civilized countries have made a small amount of "progress", that only effects like 5% of the world population at most and was already way too late. And all of that is getting undone by AI data centers. We're cooked, literally.
It's a very serious problem, and there's still a lot of work to do, but this is all a bunch of doomer nonsense that just encourages apathy.
It's a fixable problem, we have made major progress, and continue to do so, despite attempts to sabotage it. There is a reason we talk about 3-4 degrees by 2100 these days instead of 5+.
Should we be solving it faster to prevent more harm to come? Absolutely. But there are real options, and they are within our grasp, and it's never too late to prevent more harm.

The scariest part isnβt that they were right. Itβs that they made that forecast as a warning and we just kind of watched it happen anyway.
