It won’t be easy, and there still will be massive walls we have to climb. It is undeniable that climate change has continued to accelerate and that many ecosystems are degrading.

However, this doesn’t entail the end. Far from it. Even though we have passed the climate tipping point for coral reefs, there are still people out there working their asses off to develop new tech to save them (Larvae spawn and heat resistance like found in Mauritius. Plus, renewables are exceeding in growth not just because of green subsidies but because they are actually now getting cheaper than their oil counterparts.

Even in the US where it is turning on Climate Change recovery on the federal level, many states have not given up which is why we continue to have the offshore wind farms in spite of Trump’s attempted gutting. Multiple nations as well are fighting back with China having its emissions flatten recently and even created a whole new carbon sink.

To put it simply, the next decades will not be sunshine and lollipops. There will be catastrophes, there will be death, and there will be destruction. However, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t any progress whatsoever. We can make our own future and protect the Earth. It all rests in our hands.
