They’re able to correctly identify the problem

Why identify a problem if they're not going to offer any solutions? That's why I think "reports" like these are politically motivated. Liberals use these reports to then engage in performative gestures like taking working class taxpayer money to fund endless panels and committees whose only solution is to set emission targets. Then when they meet next year they get to wag a finger at every country that didn't meet the target.

How many are talking about nuclear power? In Germany, the "Greens" (green wow so environmental!) are the ones who shut down nuclear power plants and are now supervising the restarting of coal power plants. But I bet you anything the Greens are most vocal about climate change and the IPCC reports.

I just hate hypocrites, that's all. When I see a hypocrite, I see a liar, why should I entertain what they have to say?

If I see someone shooting up a street, should I not call for help because I personally can't stop it?

Depends on who are you gonna call and if they will make the situation worse.
