Yeah I was pretty upset by this like it seems the other commenters. The issue is that climate change isn't "solved" or "not solved". We are, day by day, locking in deaths, locking in ecological damage. The longer we take, the worse it gets. That's not doomerism that's just reality.
As for doing something, well yeah we have to do something because the longer we take the worse it gets.
The real problem here is that most mainstream politicians are trying to "balance" issues like "the economy" (AKA stuff humans made up) and "Capitalism" (more made up stuff) and "climate" (a real thing). Literally the easiest thing to change here (collectively) is our minds, but it's the one thing the politicians won't do.
