So you believe we can't incrementally get there with current institutions and politics. Understandable and defensible. But that still wouldn't preclude you from supporting action, as that depends on the answers to the first two questions.
To think that climate mitigation will not happen is still consistent with the desire for it to happen. In other words, I'm skeptical we can get there as well, but that isn't holding me back from trying to get there.
The mirror of that argument is much more insidious. If you wish we don't do anything because you don't care about climate change and then justify it with the case that we can't get there is the worst argument for inaction.
