Ah, I first remember hearing about small steps in the Nixon administration! And I've heard it every year since.

We needed to take small steps 50 years ago. Now we need to decarbonize by 90% in a decade to avoid catastrophe.

Small steps are worse than useless because they convince people that something is being done when it is not.

I think DSJezebell HATES Facts.

Have you no shame, using FACTS?

Yeah, this. Tom and I disagree over some things, but I wholeheartedly agree on this point.

If we want to make only small changes, we have to start in good time. We failed to do so in this case, because back when it wasn't too late, people thought there was no need to make changes at all.

As it stands, our options are drastic immediate changes or extinction. Saying "drastic changes but not yet" or "small changes only" is simply denial.
