I wish news would stop saying the broad term human activity and more accurately say corporate activity.

Yes, the general population contributes to climate change, but the real polluters are the big companies manufacturing things, big oil, etc. They don't care about what they're doing and lobby govt's to put the blame on the citizens.

People should stop buying food?

If it is within their means to purchase food from more sustainable sources, yes, we should stop buying products from the worst polluters.
