The climate crisis is too big to solve as an individual. Even if a million of us immediately stopped driving cars, and lived in a carbon-neutral commune nothing would change, in terms of the overall climate picture. The only way to solve this is to build new infrastructure that removes the need for carbon emissions, while also stopping oil extraction at an increasingly rapid pace. Anything else is a distraction, and that includes asking people to "help" by driving less. If you want people to make good choices, those good choices need to be made possible, effective, and meaningful. This is what our politicians have been avoiding. Here in Toronto, our local federal MP once posted on Twitter that he fights climate change by shopping at a local produce market. Not only was this absolutely not stopping climate change in any meaningful way at all, it reflects the absolute inability of the vast majority of politicians to communicate that they understand the severity of the situation, much less do anything meaningful about it.
