It’s too late to save Britain from overheating

Not a huge fan of this headline. While it’s true that we’re locked in for a certain amount of warming, phrasing it as “it’s too late” kind of implies “why bother”, which is not a healthy attitude towards climate change.

Neither is we/they/AI/God will figure it out. I don’t read the headline that way though, it’s more a factual “there will be overheating, so get ready”, which is totally appropriate.

Saying your car will break down if you drive it with the oil light on is a unhealthy attitude towards car maintenance

The check engine light pops up on your car. You are busy with life and commuting and so you bring it in a few weeks/ months after it came on. You finally get around to bring it into the mechanic.

The mechanic tells you its too late to fix the thing. You fucked up by driving around with the check engine light on and its now beyond repair.

Its not the mechanics fault you lack the emotional maturity for bad news.

I think what you meant is saying “your engine oil is on, it’s too late to take the car to the garage” is an unhealthy attitude towards car maintenance.
