I'd like to think it would have that effect & get some action to change but it seems unlikely given what's been done so far.
Not-a-bloody-thing isn't going to be of much use to our descendants or theirs.

Another 'tipping point' reached in regard to the climate change process.

You'd think, wouldn't you that when such potentially disastrous things are happening that might be a bit of a clue that it really is time to clean up our mess. But no - I suspect there'll be no shortage though, of fine words & gatherings of politicians, whose actions in consequance will amount to zero.
Or as close as they can get to it.
The world is a weird place. And humans are crazy.
