      Actually, there is a limit to the amount of CO2 the atmosphere can hold. We’d be well and truly cooked by that point, but yeah. There is technically a point where we can’t make it worse.

      Right. There is a “too late” to prevent any catastrophic climate change, and we’re well beyond that. But there is no “too late” to making it less bad than it will be assuming we don’t do something.

      The plane is going down. We still have some control, and we can aim for a softer landing, but everyone needs to assume the crash position and stop pretending we didn’t cause a crash.
