My generation spent trillions of dollars to achieve so called "net zero," and it is true that those trillions were ineffective.

Addressing extreme global heating is feasible, not likely, not cheap (although cheaper than destroying the planetary atmosphere) and not popular but, this said, we should not take too great a superior attitude to the liars in question here, as much as we are justified in despising them.

We, after all are liars too, even if we have only lied to ourselves.
