Your post struck a chord in me. I work with civil engineering (water management) which sounds like it could impact climate change. Nope. I work on how to make our processes more efficient so we can build more infrastructure faster. Infrastructure that has to be maintained CO2 emission free in the future - we are building more of it.
And I am truly bewildered. When I look at all the graphs the only thing I see is that we have to stop everything now. But what I see at work is that we just keep digging with an even faster pace.
This summer I tried to read some old Greek tragedies. The characters have to make difficult choices and it all ends with tragedy despite everyone’s best intensions and efforts. I was saddened by the resemblance on how humanity is tackling climate change. I am afraid we are writing an old Greek tragedy.
