"...the observation that the primary obstacle to action on climate change no longer seems to be denial; it's the idea that we lack agency, doomism...There are a lot of people who think that the science supports this view, but it doesn't.

"I think is the right framing for the problem that we face today: the pairing of urgency and agency. That it's not too late...There’s no point beyond which we shouldn’t keep trying to limit warming."
