No, I think you're right as does 63% of US adults by one study,

The Democrats have proven to be worse stewards of the planet than Republicans,
who are at least honest about doing nothing bout climate change. Democrats run
green on plans that increased fossil fuel emissions (replace the grid, etc.)
and then brag about topping records in fossil fuel extraction during the
election.
The climate catastrophe might be the tip of the iceberg, so to speak:

is yet another "externality" of fossil capital. PFAS poisoning of the world is
also a fossil-fuel byproduct. The forces of destruction go beyond just fossil
capital. The capitalist "Anthropocene" is a time in in earth's history where
human activity caused both a change in the earth's climate and a shift in its
pole, https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2023GL103509.
Rather than mourn, we should organize against fossil capital first.
