I appreciate that you care about stabilizing the climate and have personally taken actions that contribute to that goal. I also appreciate that you're politically conservative but consider climate an important issue. I lament that the partisan polarization around this issue means we're missing ideas for solutions from half the country's population. Not every good idea about slowing/countering climate change is going to align with pre-existing strains of thought among left-leaning voters and politicians. I wish that there were more conservative politicians and voters pushing ideas for solutions that align with their backgrounds. That said, I don't think that it's necessary or sufficient to deal with climate change by making individual lifestyle changes, without prompting from legislation. The problem of emissions is a collective action problem. Trying to fix it one person at a time is like trying to fix 20th century air quality in the Los Angeles Basin without legislation. If residents of LA supported mandatory catalytic converters on new cars, but didn't individually retrofit their own cars (or stop driving), that's not because they were un-serious about the problem. It's because they recognized that one-person-at-a-time solutions weren't going to work.
