Yes it is heartbreaking. I find uself getting increasingly angered by those who have spent the last 20+ years denying that climate change is happening. Some of them used to contribute regularly in the old Climate Forum. There are still people denying what is happening despite the mounting evidence and people who accept it is happening but won't countenance the changes needed to try to slow it down.
The reality is that we're all locked into what is going to be an increasingly bumpy and nasty journey. We've seen the effects in Australia and more than once on the western side of North America; not to mention the heatwaves that have hit Western Europe in recent years.
