Humanity has “lost the fight against climate change” ...because of a few stubborn, greedy governments who have done everything they can to get us all to believe it's because we didn't recycle enough.

No ordinary person ever had any power to change this. We could only make change happen if we all came together but we won't because apparently we're the problem.

Also worth noting that getting people to feel apathetic and fatalistic using messages like this post is actually a well known strategy to destroy motivation for change. The battle is definitely ongoing and we may yet win it. Don't give up hope or they win.

That may be true but it also has no bearing on reality.

I mean it can be true that the idea is used maliciously while also being true.
