I don't think it's too late from a "technical perspective". We could absolutely change our behaviour and priorities and fix the problems that will ultimately end us as a species in the near future if we do nothing. We have that capability. But since witnessing the pandemic and how the human race has responded to it, rapid vaccine development notwithstanding, I have pretty much zero confidence that will happen. At this point when I look at climate change and other impacts from our insistence on exploiting and trashing our planet and its ecosystems, I would be shocked to learn that humans were around and thriving a couple hundred years from now. The difficult reality for me is not that there's nothing we can do, it's that there are things we can do, but a sufficient portion of the human population will simply not be convinced to do those things before it's too late, even as the impacts of the very problems they are being asked to acknowledge and accept are destroying their own lives.
