We're not doing anything to tackle it. Nearly every country is still increasing emissions.

And nothing individuals do will be enough. The top causes of CO2 emissions are industrial power generation, production of concrete, resource extraction, deforestation/burning forests and transportation.

Fact is, the world's population is still increasing, developing countries will still develop, developed countries won't reduce emissions, there's no stopping it.

Even in the US, the DNC struck down the 'Green New Deal'.

Either we're all doomed, or it's not an existential threat.

The problem is the Green New Deal politicians also want to ban guns and socialize healthcare and college education. If they would stick to climate, maybe they would do better.

I like my guns and EV; don’t know why they have to be antipodal in politics.
