- whodidwhatnow 5y ago> We will no doubt be ravaged by climate change and are likely to reach 1.5 - 2 degrees warning Yes... because we missed our chance to solve for this. I get that humans on the whole will survive. But the "be the change you want to see in the world" type of feel goodery is complete bs. "You" are not the problem for climate change. Our politics are the problem and we seem determined to not solve that.
- ahevia 5y agoI will not assume what country you are from or how active you are in your local community, but here in the US among progressive or environmental groups we have seen a great deal of progress on the state & federal level on fixing the system. Lots of people are determined to solve this, sadly there is a lot of opposition too. Don't be the change you want to see in the world, demand the change you want to see in your system. Don't rollover & accept defeat
