As the problem is really a compound of millions of people and not any one indivdiual, the answer is then really nothing - bar more unrealistic options such as becoming a dictator and banning fossil fuel, or become a genie and invent an engine running on water.
The more realistic approach is to change ones own behavior where possible - get an electric car, demand your electricity company switch to clean tech, switch to getting electric from non-fossil fueled power, fly less miles, use a bike, and so on - and try to convince others to do so too. If noone does anything, it's pretty certain nothing will change either.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoI disagree. There is a whole spectrum between "change your own behaviour" and "become a global dictator". It's a spectrum of influencing people around you. Marketing and persuasion are ways to directly influence people, but there are also many more ways to do that indirectly - e.g. creating / improving technologies that change the default behaviour of people for the better. To use a simple example - switching to renewables would not possible without people inventing ways to economically extract power from renewables.
