Thanks for this. I don't know if others feel differently but for me I'm certainly not advocating for a "we're doomed and nothing can be done" position, but maybe that wasn't clear in my original post.

The key point in that video for me is that pressure needs to be put in governments to ensure these promises can be met. Currently we're still looking at a level of warming (3 degrees+) that will likely lead to huge amounts of death and starvation, whilst being faced with a govt in this country that seems to be running away from its own net zero pledge and a govt in the US that seemingly has no ability to enact its key climate pledges. None of this gets changed by despair, but equally none of it gets changed if the public don't do more to hold the govt to account on this.
