Just because a minister can't make the perfect policies for climate, doesn't mean that putting Trump on that chair wouldn't have a different outcome. Having people there with an understanding of the problem we face and how to fix it, or advising such people, or providing better data to those advisors, or building the satellites to collect that data... Yeah it's hard to say what will ultimately have been the best possible use of your time, but please don't fall into indecision just because no option seemed perfect :) That said, I'd be curious if a climate-aware person working at a fossil fuel company would still be negative compared to them working for Greenpeace or something. Probably if you have no impact (like a fuel truck driver) then your time would have been better spent at Greenpeace, but if you're part of meetings where something is decided then you'd have an impact already. Maybe what we need is to look for roles with either some decision making capacity, or no such capacity but at a company that's already working to help everyone reduce emissions?
