As someone who understands climate science pretty well (I took university level classes within my earth science major) understand my words carefully, hyperbole is an extinct fear and the climate experts we desperately need have been so systematically disempowered that there is no one left with any power to speak with the urgency this moment demands.
This is no longer about even saving people or the environment, rather it is about letting people know in 15 years max and that is generous their quality of life is going to drop through the floor.
You will see zero change until the people (all of us) stop going to work, grind the global economy to a halt, and force our leaders and billionaires to clean up their fucking mess.
Like a parent stopping the car until the kids behave.
So never, because that is for sure not going to happen.
