How can anyone on HN ignore it when there are a dozen climate emergency articles on the front page every day? Fatigue is setting in.

We should plan for it, not ban another “plastic straw”

maybe if we pay more taxes and stop eating hamburgers we can solve it

We the people dont need to pay more taxes but the polluting companies should. We the people should not keep doing the polluting companies favours by focusing on complaining about things like veggie burgers and paper straws. We should keep demanding real action.

If you think paper straws and tree planting is dumb and useless (which I can totally relate to), don’t use that to mock the whole enterprise but pressure all the politicians to resist the moneyed interests and take meaningful action.

unfortunately the reality is that our rights get removed while the big guys get to continue doing as they please

I know that is a risk but it is only made worse by talking about the useless stuff and not talking about the real actions that should be directed towards the large corporations.
