The Franzen quote for the Solarpunks:

“If you’re younger than 60, you have a good chance of witnessing the radical destabilisation of life on Earth – massive crop failures, apocalyptic fires, imploding economies, epic flooding, hundreds of millions of refugees fleeing regions made uninhabitable by extreme heat or permanent drought. If you’re under 30, you’re all but guaranteed to witness it.

You can keep on hoping that catastrophe is preventable, and feel ever more frustrated or enraged by the world’s inaction. Or you can accept that disaster is coming, and begin to rethink what it means to have hope today.”

The last sentence does the article a disservice by qualifying the warnings with "before it's too late". That implies we still have time, that we can fix it if we just all work together. Pro-tip: it's too late.

I think I'd feel better if the discussion turned more towards "how do we cope" vs prevention.
