Agreed that individual action is always drowned out by society and global policy, even if global emissions are caused by summing up billions individual decisions.

Ultimately my problem is it is hypocritical to have concern for climate change while jetting around the world.

Eventually I would like to get into green and cleantech and hopefully contribute to a bigger impact on emissions than a single lifetimes worth of actions ever could.

If you're looking for a good role model, I would point to John Baez, a wonderfully gifted mathematician who has changed course mid-career because he thinks this is the most important problem facing humanity: https://johncarlosbaez.wordpress.com/about/
