How about putting it much more simply: you can either change to reduce your carbon usage across the board (and help everyone else to understand and do the same)

How about putting it much more simply: you can either change to reduce your carbon usage across the board (and help everyone else to understand and do the same) or your children will suffer by your own fault.
- alexandercrohde 8y agoThat's a terrible non-solution. Your strategy is to hope that every single person independently chooses to reduce carbon usage? It has to be government mandated. And most of the carbon is by COMPANIES not individuals.
- 205guy 8y agoThat may work in China (maybe), but I'm afraid it doesn't stand a chance in the US--probably still the biggest CO2 emitter overall and certainly the highest per capita. No, my strategy is to spread this message far and wide, and encourage others to do so too, until hopefully enough people are convinced and choose to do so. I kinda went overboard with the comments on this one article, but I was inspired. Sometimes I wonder if turning carbon-piety into a religion (or vice versa) would be the way to go. After all, the way I see it, the defining characteristic of US conservatives, who generally oppose individual actions and government mandates to reduce carbon, is religiousness.
