Just say it like it is, we are in the process of triggering major climate tipping points.

Everyone knows this. We have seen the response of "World Leaders", and it's to appoint an oil executive to be President of COP28 so he can falsely and perniciously claim that 'no one' is actually saying to get rid fossil fuels.

Governments have already decided that they are not going to miss out on any sweet sweet potential economic activity (read "money generation for politicians") until it gets so bad that they have to to survive. They're going to play chicken with each other and employ police to put down protests until we finally do something about it/them ourselves.
