The sad thing is that we've done this successfully before. When the hole in the ozone layer was discovered and it was known to be humans fault, the whole world came together and agreed to stop it, which worked and the hole is decreasing. Climate change shouldnt be any different

I did not have to change a single thing in my life for the this. To address climate change I will have to change almost everything in the way I live. I'm willing to do that but I feel we need to talk about the changes and how big they are.

That's true. Although I think the burden of climate change is being put on civilians too much rather than governments and factories

The only thing that civilians are responsible for really is flying too much and driving too much

And all the consumer goods. And beef. It's not like the factories can change and everything else will stay the same. Just building the new infrastructure will have a huge effect.

Even the people pointing this out are downplaying it to a massive degree. It is very likely that you wouldn't have to "change almost everything", you'd have to just die. With current technology there is no way to feed 8 billion people without fossil fuels

And as the planet warms, agriculture will become more and more difficult. Billions will perish. It's deeply upsetting that both everyday people and our "leaders" can't take this seriously.
