he is quite probably right in that nothing now might make any difference - IF we’ve hit a tipping point
which this year so far is looking awfully scary that it could be
if for whatever reason we do hit a point where we have something like a runaway style of warming - then we’re basically buggered and no amount of solar, wind, hydro and ditching coal is going to save the day.
Basically if we have gone over the edge - and it’s very possible due to warming already - and well may rate of rise be part of it - because there’s so much that we don’t know about how earth works - then we might have a rapid onset ice age dumping in our lap
what we do know is that earth is a self correcting system
And if it gets overheated - it will correct - and it won’t care a hoot about who is running about on the surface complaining about too wet or too cold or whatever
we are at clear risk of doing the dodo here - the evidence shows that few species go on throughout major climate changes
humans have developed into large societies that are completely dependent on very fragile technological systems
what have we got that’s going to work under a kilometre of ice?
