A Rock and the Hard Place?

In spite of the 'smack in the face' from extreme weather events, 'leading' climate scientists maintain there's a 'tiny window of hope'. The trouble is, they might feel they have no option other than to offer some hope. 'The End of the World is Nigh' has never worked as a call for meaningful action. If there's a window, however, it's closing pretty fast (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/aug/28/crazy-off-the-charts-records-has-humanity-finally-broken-the-climate). As one scientist puts it, for 30 years, everyone's been 'pretty robust'. Climate science's projections have proved 'pretty robust' but so has humanity's stubbornness to spew out ever higher amounts of 'greenhouse gases'. If the 'tiny window of hope' exists, for there to be any benefit for humanity, there will have to be very major changes, pronto. 'Fiddling, slowly at the edges' won't achieve anything. Even with that, extreme weather events will continue to 'smack us in the face', at least for the foreseeable future.
