My thought as well.
The people who well understand climate change know there is nothing we can actually do to stop it now.
Even if humans completely stopped greenhouse gas emissions tomorrow, the co2 already released will continue to warm the planet for centuries to come.
All we can do now is mitigate its affects. The jury is still out as to how effective that will be or even if we will actually do anything at all.
That's straight up bad information. Climate change isn't a yes or no, it's a matter of degree.
Serious consequences are unavoidable, and we urgently need to start adapting. But we absolutely can and should mitigate climate change itself to avoid some more extreme consequences.
Don't go around telling people there's nothing we can do, there's still time to make a difference and we should focus on positive actions on individual and societal levels.
Also, the jury isn't out, people are already taking effective action to adapt in the real world.
