Serious question. Do ppl really think we can do anything about it? (Environmental issues we are facing - climate warming is just one of it) This is mostly a political problem. We all know that without world goverment its impossible to tackle problems like that. And currently we see moves destabilising geopolitics and not uniting them. Im seriously see only gray scenarios moving forward till mby we magically find infinite clean easy to produce and portable source of energy that producers will be willing to share for free.

You as an individual can stop driving and instantly cut your co2 emissions by half or more. But that’s not what you’re asking is it? Ok, you can show up to city hall and advocate for making your city a place where you don’t need a car. But that’s probably also not what you’re asking. How can you be a hero and save humanity? You can’t. You can reduce your moral responsibility for what’s happening though by reducing your part in it.

  Transport is just one source of CO2, and can be mostly solved with electric vehiclezs. People buying stuff they really don't need is a much bigger problem.

    Transport is one of the easiest to substitute with alternative means in many parts of the world. Then you don't have the CO2 from manufacturing the car (electric or not) and you don't produce any while traveling. My family and I decided to get rid of the car 3 years ago and we didn't look back. We are fortunate enough to live in an area with acceptable public transport and we got ourselves bikes as a supplement. We ended up renting a car 2 times in 3 years, one of which was a moving van. Won't work for people living in remote areas, but it's doable for many. We have also not used a plane in the last 4 years, but that's something many won't be willing or able to do. It's at least worth thinking about if nothing else.
