Thanks for taking the time to do this! We need more academics offering their expertise in Reddit.

Is there anything individuals can do to mitigate the impact in these dire times?
Have you worked with policymakers? How eager are they in trying to effect change

or are they just putting on a charade?

Maybe the most important thing individuals can do (in democracies) is to vote and support initiatives that advocate for solutions to climate change. We have not worked with policymakers but we have
much respect and admiration for their difficult work.
