Maybe because I tend to be a "big-picture" thinker, I've had my eyes on apocalypse (the unveiling) for a while. But you put it in terms I've always struggled to. You know, relatable, if your head isn't in the clouds. Great piece.
As for the situation we're in, it's... not looking great. We're probably locked into a great deal of heating, the question now is how rapid and destabilizing it'll be.
Not that there's any sense in "giving up". Entropy always wins eventually, that didn't change. Save what we can, while we can.
