Requiem For a Former Planet?

Author Sophie Mackintosh notes that "with wildfires, railway tracks buckling and tarmac melting, it's no longer possible to ignore how broken the world is" (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jul/23/temperatures-britain-dystopia-wildfires-railway). Mackintosh feels that the recent extreme weather events have signposted the 'dystopia to come'. She clearly thinks that collective grief, for what has been lost, is completely understandable. Essentially, people will have reached an individual 'tipping point' for their feelings of loss. Some folk, however, act as if we still have all the time in the world. What such people seemingly fail to realise is that a) things are accelerating (i.e. getting more extreme and more frequent) and b) attempts to reverse planetary heating will, even if they work, be very slow to take effect.
