Vicious cycles are accelerating climate change. One is happening at the north pole, where rising temperatures caused by record levels of fossil fuel combustion are melting more and more sea ice.
The “it’s too late” crowd isn’t and has never been the problem. They’ve been painted as the scapegoat by the same ones who want to keep the status quo going. We can acknowledge that for many things we’re way past fixing them and yet start doing something different to reduce even more damage. Whether it will matter in the end is irrelevant, doomers and optimists can still agree we need to change, and quickly.
The problem is not real. The problem is “their” fault. They deserved it. We wouldn’t know what to do. It will cost too much. It is too late to do anything.

All of those are pointless and obstructionist.
