This reads like a plea for the general public to keep slaving away because “we can get this done.”
How about instead of articles targeting individuals they try writing articles targeting the biggest climate offenders: corporations.
Because corporations aren’t going to change because of an internet opinion piece. They’ll only change if they’re forced.
The problem is the only ones with the power to force them are the government… and the only one who can force the government is the people.
The problem isn’t that we’re telling individuals to do their part instead of corporations… the problem is that we’re telling individuals to attack the problem as individuals instead of working together. The problem is that we’re telling people to aim in the wrong direction.
And worst of all, we’re telling people “It’s someone else’s fault, they should be the one’s dealing with it” and then sitting on our hands.
Yeah I was pretty upset by this like it seems the other commenters. The issue is that climate change isn’t “solved” or “not solved”. We are, day by day, locking in deaths, locking in ecological damage. The longer we take, the worse it gets. That’s not doomerism that’s just reality.
As for doing something, well yeah we have to do something because the longer we take the worse it gets.
The real problem here is that most mainstream politicians are trying to “balance” issues like “the economy” (AKA stuff humans made up) and “Capitalism” (more made up stuff) and “climate” (a real thing). Literally the easiest thing to change here (collectively) is our minds, but it’s the one thing the politicians won’t do.
