    We have hardly done even the bare minimum as a species to seriously impact climate change. We should expect more of the same.

      Why do you act like nothing is being done? Corporations and politicians are doing plenty and we’re gonna see that needle move. In the wrong direction, of course, but who needs humanity and dignity where there’s profits to be had???

        As an individual, I don’t eat meat, and I do recycle, but I think it’ll likely that most of this is going to the landfill anyway.

        And I’d like an electric car, but there’s no charging infrastructure, so gas it is. There’s not a single one in town. I’m not allowed to install one. I would take the train or the bus if there was one. I don’t have access to public transportation.

        And my commute is 45 minutes, so that’s a lot of carbon. I’d like to live closer, but I’m priced out of the market everywhere else. A short commute that reduces my fossil fuels reliance is a luxury I can’t afford.

        What’s a guy to do?
