No, I 100% blame politicians and the media. If this climate thing is such an issue as the "doomsayers" say it is, then we should be outright and immediately banning/dismantling and destroying infrastructure that causes it. But instead, we faff about with "carbon credits" and "media campaigns", and cause all sorts of divisive misinformation and "cover" for the worst offenders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_di... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/Annual_CO2_emissions_by_region%2C_2022.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/Annual_C... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/Annual_CO2_emissions_per_country%2C_2022.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/Annual_C...

  By people that aren't aware of the problem or their ability to collectively change it, sadly. Everyone I know wants to do right by them and theirs; climate change having a meaningful impact on those doesn't seem to be on most voter's radar somehow I do kinda feel like a responsible leader, that should be elected anyway for reasons other than intended climate policy, should also have the guts to put a topic on the table that means scary change for a massive decrease in worldsuck on a timescale we're comfortable estimating the broad effects for

Try that a look who people vote. People prefer the doctor who says smoking, drinking and no sports is ok over the ones who say you should stop smoldering and drinking and do more exercise.
