It's not just about those 9 years and I'm definitely not trying to simplify that, but it's like not putting that money in your piggy bank, and waiting, and waiting and waiting. All of a sudden you are about to retire and you have to hope the government doesn't do anything to make the world better because your retirement fund (property) is at stake.
Climate action creates compound interest and you've gotta start as soon as you know it's a good idea. Brushing it off makes things worse, and created a culture of people who brush it off as well.
I don't doubt we probably want the same shit at the end of the day, but we don't agree on how to get there. Unfortunately for my bank account, liberals are at least attempting 2/3 things I care about when conservatives will really only consider one of the three, and have made that quite clear.
