I don't know how to price pollution.
And I've been voting for the "right" policies my whole life. It didn't help.
- colpabar 7y agoIf "Adjusting your lifestyle and behaviour in line with climate goals is not about making a difference," then why does it matter that your voting didn't help? You are a good person after all. Really though, what is your point here? Can you imagine if a politician whose platform was fighting climate change walked into CoalTown USA and told everyone that they were bad people? Do you think that would help? I don't mean to get into the weeds of argument and rhetoric, but if we ARE going to accomplish anything on the level that this problem requires, then we have to be convincing, not smug.
