    Sounds good. I’ll start by telling all my corporations that blast the majority of CO2 emissions worldwide into the air to slow it down a bit.

      They’re mostly not blasting it directly; they’re selling fossil fuels for others to blast. Changing how you commute or heat your home helps change social norms around those and lowers the rate of emissions

        By God, you’re right! It was me all along. I am to blame for Climate Change! Sorry guys. I’ll stop Climate Change this instant. Sorry again.

          I’m not saying that either. But we are at the point where it takes people showing neighbors the changes that everybody needs to make.

        That’s all it took. The crisis has actually been over for ages ever since I have stopped eating meat. I’ve done it.

        you should be good

        Good news, the planet is now no longer on a direct course towards being rendered inhabitable due to being destroyed for profit. I. AM. GOOD.

        Problem solved. Thank you so much on behalf of all future generations of the planet.

          I could tell you the facts, like how stopping eating meat is one of the easiest ways to make a huge change. I could give you some studies, show you how almost every report on climate change in the last 15 years has listet going more plant based is part of their recommendations. But you know what? I’m just fucking over with people that aren’t grown up enoth to even do the slightest little change in their lives.

          We deserve the future that awaits us.

            I’m slightly fed up with being promised that going meat free will get me a livable planet when I retire because I have fucking delivered my end of the bargain. I want my livable planet now.

            It’s like

            “You can improve our situation if you grab a thimble and start scooping water out of the boat now.”

            “There’s still the giant hole in the hull that brings in a lot more water than my little thimble can deal with. What do we do about that?”

            “Shut up and keep scooping :D”

              Yeah. The beef thing has become the main call to action while ignoring that beef consumption has been falling since the 70’s. It’s also not clear how much of that carbon is part of the existing carbon cycle.

              The solution is adding less carbon to the existing cycle which means stopping pumping including and especially “natural” gas.

              Everything else is performative.

              Only when we stop adding it to our environment can we have any hope at sequestration.
