Democrats accept it yet they also are trapped within the confines of what is possible in a liberal capitalist empire which means nothing is done. So they protest, they ensure that the fact it is an issue is /SEEN/ and that they are /seen/ being on the right side of it but do nothing or enact plans that were supposed to be enacted 30 years ago to actually work and are far too little, too late now.
So yes eventually even reactionaries will accept it but then they'll pull the Google CEO move which is to say well it's too late now so might as well double down on AI and other pollution and hope some technology of ours magics up a solution for us and then when that doesn't work in 20-25 years and the worst of it is hitting they'll say we had no way of knowing and blame China and various bad guys and a few token dead white people who are beyond the reach of any justice.
We're heading over the cliff, we're over the cliff and one of the drivers insists it's just a dip in the road while the other horrified is scolding them for driving off the cliff but insisting they needed to take that turn they missed when they headed over the cliff, they're insistent that they take it at the next opportunity despite that option of course being long past.
