Why POC collectively hold our breath when there’s a mass shooting or high profile crime before the suspect is even identified:

High levels of PFAS contamination have been detected in both coastal and deep-diving whales and dolphins, indicating that deep-sea habitats do not shield marine mammals from these persistent chemicals. doi.org/hbctzs
Unprecedented levels of forever chemicals found in dolphins and whales
New research has revealed that marine mammals who live far below the ocean's surface are not immune from the burden of toxic forever chemicals, with whales and dolphins showing unprecedented levels of PFAS contamination.

It takes 10 years for CO2 to reach 90% of temperature impact and hence the 2°C carbon budget is zero today. 2°C is committed based on past actions.
Most species on Earth will go extinct because of past actions too. Nature reserves (zoos) and wild gardens can trick us into thinking it's not so bad.
