The overall message here I think is: action is still necessary, but the reality is that we’re too caught up in politics and economics and we missed our chance at mitigation. Now we need to look to how to cope with what’s coming.

This is an anarchist instance, we’re on the same page. Ending capitalism is the only real way out of all of this.
But right now, at this very moment, things are not doomed. They could be doomed in the future, but that isn’t written yet. So yes, fight like hell, but realize that a lot of people who read comments like “We’re fucked. It’s over”, or read the OP’s article, will come away thinking we’ve already reached a human extinction level event, which we absolutely have not yet, and can still influence.
It’s important to frame it that we can still make a difference, otherwise people will simply give up and not worry about trying to fix things since they believe it’s all fucked and pointless, which can be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
