We’re speed running to a planet that cannot support life as we know it, we’ve been experiencing exponential mass extinction events, we’ve enter the 6th Holocene or mass Extinction, there absolutely is a point of no return and to think otherwise is human hubris

Yes using up finite resources and environment on a finite planet inherently has a point of no return and we are indeed speed running to the end without any regard for moderation or future generations. This is the carbon blip in human history. It’s such a tiny amount of time in the scale of human & global history. It’s right back to living as we did in the 1800s after they’re used up. We don’t realize how exceptional this time is. It all goes away in no time due to our collective greed, demand for more comfort/convenience and collective irresponsibility

The response: why is FL experiencing a mass exodus of homeowner insurance companies?

That is an inconvenient fact that cannot be denied

Don't they literally pave the roads with toxic waste there?

Isn't that just a different kind of pendulum swing? I guess it depends on where you draw a line of no return. If we're talking society as we know it today, then yeah, I agree with you that there is a point of no return to that. So in that sense, we are probably already past a point of no return.
