I'm kind of resigned to the disaster.

I live in an area where I get almost 7 gallons of fresh water a minute out of my well (what you call a bore, I believe). We don't have forest fires. Tornadoes have been rare, although they're less rare than they were. Sea level rise won't affect me. I live at ~500 ft, or 150 meters above sea level. Got 10 acres if I want to raise some food. I have a couple bucks if I don't... I'm good.

Where I live is warmer and wetter than before. Less snow to shovel... Summers have been less enjoyable, but winters have been less expensive. I have 20 years or so left. I'm distraught; don't get me wrong. But I'm also resigned. We just may not be able to beat these nihilistic assholes.

Climate Change...
From the unique vantage point in space, NASA collects critical long-term observations of our changing planet.

"Carbon offsets are flawed but we are now in a climate emergency "

Using five decades of satellite, airborne, ground, and space-station based observations, NASA-funded researchers are working to understand Earth's evolving, interconnected systems and to decipher natural and human-caused changes.
Those space-based views are supplemented by cutting-edge modeling tools, new technologies for observation, and hundreds of scientists and engineers. “NASA is committed to empowering scientists, decisionmakers, and people around the world to make data-based decisions when it comes to climate," says NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.
