Well, that's fucking grim.
It definitely is. Especially since there still doesn't seem to be any sort of coordinated/meaningful action to prevent this.
No amount of me biking, recycling, and voting with my dollars is going to stop the impending climate disaster. I still do it but it's really up to the nation-states and companies to stop burning the world to cinders.
Oh I completely agree there. We do our best to recycle etc but nations and the largest companies dwarf anything we as individuals can do.
I've always hated the fact they try and lay the climate degradation at our feet like throwing way 6 beer cans is what is causing the problem and not EVERYTHING they do to continue producing despite the damage. It's exhausting being told we are the ones to save it when Shell/Exxon/BP can't stop dumping oil in the ocean and the best response they can manage is "Oopsie!". That South Park bit about "we're sorry." was oddly prescient on how others would model their PR emergency response.
