    I’ve given up. The people in power have the responsibility to fix this. They all took on that responsibility when they took the title. Not my problem.

      Then work on changing the people in power if you’re in a part of the world where that’s possible, and work on making the changes that need to happen part of how you make a living no matter where you are.

        And how are you supposed to do that? You can vote, but that is just one person. Look at the election results & polls of green parties & politicians who want to do something. No one actually wants that, otherwise they’d be voting differently. Everyone loves to cry about the big corporations or the bad politicians but none of them want to do anything themselves or be in any way shape or form affected by required measures that are needed to reduce emissions. Because yes, at this stage it will cost us, all of us, and it will just get more and more expensive to fix with each passing year - until there’s nothing possible to fix anymore.

            Yeah, been there done that. Evidently none of those things actually help. It’s a drop in the ocean. Again, the majority of people does not care, or rather the contrary, gets angry at those who do.

              Each of us is a drop, but our drops together are the ocean. If you don’t want to get involved, I can’t make you, but don’t discourage others if you want to stick around.
