I try to remind myself of that, but most of those had a simple solution of "don't do that thing". Don’t go to war, don't nuke each other, etc. I admit that that's a vast oversimplification of the forces at work during those crises, but the point is that they were in some way imminently stoppable. Climate change isn't like that. Even if we stop the causative behaviors in full today, which we won't come close to doing, the results will continue, have major consequences, be difficult to cope with, and be very difficult to reverse.
