All you've done here is play Karen saying "Greta didn't predict the world literally ends now in 2023, only that now in 2023 it's too late to change - the doom is baked into the cake, as of now in 2023".
Not what I said at all if you bother to read it, but like most conservatives you've find a way to turn things around in such a way that you can have a nice little argument about it. If I'd written "FWIW, I don't think anybody has any real clue as to if/when the planet will (or did) reach the tipping point." you'd probably still find a way to disagree.

Since the earth got its atmosphere 4 billion years ago (according to the Smithsonian Inst), there has been climate change. Climate changes existed before humans and will exist long after humans.
I totally agree, it's always going to be something that happens. I think that the panic comes from people worrying not about climate change itself, but how soon it might reach a point where human life in unsustainable. I think that's a fair consideration, as climate change has led to mass extinctions in the past and will probably do so in the future. In all likelihood nobody will know the timeline or outcome until long after I've shuffled off. I don't blame them for worrying about it. Many people worry about the future for their progeny, and I get that. They're just trying to extrapolate far beyond what I think we're capable of calculating at the moment. Our opinions on any of it will be long-forgotten by the time anyone is proven right or wrong.
