I don’t think I’ve ever met a single person IRL who acts like it’s not. It’s part of everyday conversation, it’s on YouTube constantly, it’s been legislated on in one of the largest bills in American history, automobilr companies are going all electric by 2040. American dairy is carbon neutral by 2050. The first active carbon sequestering plant went online.
Just because you feel like being a doomer and not helping through apathy based propaganda doesn’t mean other people all over aren’t doing their part.
And thats where we can observe that pushing the responsibility towards the smallest customer was just greenwashing and was for nothing.
I dont have the source at hand.
But we have like 20-30 corperations which take most of the emissions (and other environmental damages as well).
But since we dont have a global allieance on the political side, we dont have a chance against global coroerations.
Sadly its an uphill battle. Or chicken egg problem, or whatever.
lay down
try not to cry
cry alot
Those things you mentioned are either way too late and worthless or even harmful to the environment.
We cant have this many cars and be environmentally friendly, even if they are all electric. The change we need is not the change they are selling us.
American dairy is a tiny drop in the ocean of emitted carbon and they’ll stop… in 25 years
Carbon capture is bullshit technology like solar roadways and there is no way in hell it will catch up to what we emit daily in the next century. Go to a coal powered plant and look at the mountain of coal that lasts them maybe a month. Now imagine sucking all this coal back out of the air in the same amount of time… congrats, you’ve just offset one rural power plant.
There is already no way for us to save the climate we know and keep something that even remotely resembles our current way of life. We are long way away from the point where we should’ve started braking and we keep pretending that opening the windows will slow us down enough to not hit the wall.

They do fabricate a lot of BS to deflect the attention away from the problem. Burning fuel!
Reduction via energy efficiency & switching over to electricity, via wind, solar, water (wave, tidal, hydro) & thermal is right direction of travel. So yea, electric public transport, instead of private cars, generally does the same task, with far less resources (inc. power demands)
I really hate that “we” in the title and article. Solidarity! “We’re all in this together!” Except we’re not.
Study after study had proven that giant corporations and the richest-of-the-rich 1% account for the vast *majority of global emissions and negative environmental impact. Yet they’re not changing, certainly not enough. So I will use paper straws, be conscious of waste, reduce/reuse/recycle etc, but comparatively it will mean almost nothing…
I agree with the principle of what you’re saying, but you do have to consider what it is that makes them produce all the emissions and detriments to our environment. The products we’re buying. They aren’t just generating waste for the pride of it, it’s shipping and creating the products we’re buying every day. Your straws might not directly be causing a major problem, but the creation and shipment of millions of straws does.
Better start with places like Indonesia. Otherwise, you’ll be the only person out of thousands recycling.
Better start literally everywhere. I live in Europe, so I’m starting in Europe. You start wherever you live.
Yeah. Keep telling yourselves that…in all my decades, I haven’t seen any difference. Actually, its gotten worse.
Its entertaining see everyone panic because of what’s coming. To me, its whatever.
Greed.
Until we start executing & incarcerating politicians & CEOs for ecocide, this will not stop.
Because conservatives are much much louder and they don’t feel the need to have facts back up anything they say.
