Well... the difficult part with this argument is that on an individual level we don't contribute nearly as much carbon as say, the transportation industry as a whole which represents some 18% of emissions? I do as much as I can as an individual because I believe, morally, that it's true: I'd feel like a fraud if I was seriously concerned about climate and didn't become a vegetarian, refused to own a car, and stopped international travel. I try to buy only what I need, second hand if I can, to avoid putting more technology in the waste system. I avoid buying plastic. I do everything I can on an individual level. But you know what? Global politics don't seem to be moving nearly as fast or with any urgency to the matter. In the US the EPA has been practically gutted. In my own country the local government is using the pandemic as a cover to move on gutting our own environmental protections. We still need collective policy action on a global scale like we've seen with the pandemic. Unfortunately we're already decades too late to stop it. Even if we could turn off the carbon switch right now, we'll still have to suffer through some of the worst IPCC predictions.
