Maybe something with a little less potential for starting even more fires?

Are cryobombs a thing yet?

They don’t care how you or anybody feels. They won’t stop. Large Energy companies pay lobbyists and politicians to ignore climate change because it makes them money. And the richest people will feel the least effects of climate change. They do not care.

What is your solution? What would your dream scenario look like? Paint a picture of your world that doesn’t contribute to climate change. Subsistence farming?

I don’t have a solution. I don’t see a simple solution. We are too technologically advanced to be as emotionally primal as we are. I feel like it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

I think OP wants World Leaders to do this, not the scientists.

But sure, be a part of the problem by minimizing the voices of us little people.

Asshole.

You literally are the only people who can fix this.

Ok….so I work for an environmental non-profit org. The problem is the people you put in Congress like Manchin will block environmental legislation from every angle. We literally have fight everything that Fossil Fuel $$$ gives to Congress in court in Washington, DC.

These people are paid to kill legislation making corporations pay for their damage. YOU as a voter have the responsibility to rid your state of dirty energy congressional reps.

You peeps have GOT to vote in people who are not receiving millions from oil, natural gas and nuclear lobbyists. Manchin himself is holding the entire congress hostage as far as environmental legislation. One dude should not be able to do that. Vote him out. Vote them all out.

Why are you lumping nuclear in with fossil fuel?

Technically they're lumping nuclear lobbyists with fossil fuel lobbyists. If we were being charitable we might assume to the commenter we might assume that the nuclear lobbyists are also paying people like Manchin to kill funding for traditional renewable and laws holding companies accountable for damage.

To be fair your consumer habits are a huge factor in what these cooperations do. For example animal agriculture is seen as either the biggest (including transport) or at least a major contributor to climate change.

But switching to a plant-based diet is slightly inconvenient, so only few people do it.

Then people scream on Reddit how someone else should solve the problem.

Why are corporations or people, or at least when, will they be held accountable when government allow it?

OK, I hope you don't need fossil fuels for anything.

Ok, hold them accountable. Then what? What happens after we hold them accountable, what does the world look like?

You can do something about it. Eat less meat and vote. Is that too inconvenient?

Yes! I’m so tired of people telling me to watch my carbon footprint and me try to buy sustainable even though if the corporations only offered sustainable it wouldn’t be so damn hard.
