This "too late" narrative is dangerous. Climate change is not a binary, we can choose what the maximum temperature will be, and the higher, the worse. It appears that each degree is increasingly bad. The change from 4 to 5 degrees of warming will cause far more damage than the rise from 3 to 4.
Yes, stopping at 1.5 is now impossible. But stopping at 2 isn't impossible and stopping at 3 is realistic. Stopping at 5 will be catastrophic. Let's not do that.
