We were on a 3 degree path BEFORE Trump got re-elected, with many signs pointing towards us highly overestimating the amount of time we had as well. The West was supposed to carry the burden of the developing countries in regards to emissions, since we were the ones emitting the historic majority of it already, but we didn't, we already failed at that task. And now with Trump the US will go in full reverse mode. The rest of the world quite literally cannot compensate for that. It's basically over now. There's no "time to buy" anymore. And for what anyway? We don't need more time, we need significant climate action being taken. But no one actually wants that. Not companies, not politicians, not voters. People who do are a tiny fringe movement of "extremists".

Pack it in guys! A random person on Lemmy has told us it's all over! Stop everything we're doing and do nothing!

You're in denial. But it doesn't matter. Your snarky ass feel good reaction is not going to change the reality of the situation.
