Oh yeah! There’s only a 30 year lag between change in input to the atmosphere and temperature, and 70% of emissions are industrial, but if I drive a little less today the world will be saved. Yay.
But I’ll have 30 years to enjoy my massive oil profits while you peons can go die in the heat. Don’t forget a paper straw.
This article is bullshit. It’s just more “Here are things you can/should do to help stop climate change.” Things like that don’t inspire hope; in fact, they can worsen the dread.
Yeah. Unless the only item is “beat down the doors of your local legislature and industry CEOs” then any individual action is not going to have meaningful impact.
So in that vein, for Americans, you can start here: https://pluralpolicy.com/find-your-legislator/
My mentality is, do what you can, when you can. It seems overwhelming, because it is and it isn’t just on you to control. It is mostly on the world governments and corporations to actually start initiatives to stop this from getting worse, and then actually get better later on.
You, yourself, cannot du much to influence change, and your impact with the things you choose to do to help, honestly won’t help much in the grand scheme of things unfortunately.
So recycle, get a hybrid, or electric car when you can. Contribute to organizations that support the cause but don’t stress about what you can do in the short term.
