We gon' die.
There isn't any reason to expect near-term human extinction due to climate change.
The continuation of warming is also a human decision. One we can change.
No, it’s a corporate one. And corporations like money more than they do anything else.
All we have to do is form mobs to break into oil executives homes and beat them to death.
Two easy steps.
I get the necessity to spread a message of hope, I really do. If people start to see the cause as truly lost, the motivation to change any behavior will go down even more.
However, in these times, I find it harder and harder to keep a positive mindset about this. And I am sure I’m not the only one.
how? Like lets say we need to get on the track of reversing the course of climate change right now, within the next 10 years at most. What is the most effective thing a nobody like me can do about it?
How do you politically influence non-western-friendly regimes/countries? That's more than 2/3 of all the polution/emissions.
Good points, thanks
Not much that can be done there, but it's like a wildfire. Throwing more fire at it doesn't help any.
