NOTE TO READERS: This interview contains strong language and views that may be upsetting to some. The information presented here reflects verified, first-hand
And guess what … most of the people who ‘did what they could’ just kept driving their cars. ‘What choice did we have?’ None.
Nothing. It’s not our individual fault. It’s going to keep going no matter what you or I do (short of terrorism) until the whole thing crashes down around us.
To be honest the problem is we built a broken system.
Part 1, most companies can’t afford to gamble. They can’t afford switching to paper straws, the margins are that tight and we wanna talk about cutting CEOs that will work for some companies but not most.
Part 2, there’s no help from the government, any of them. they were all ineffective and more interested in flirting with resource wars than collaborating for the benefit of all.
Lobbying, petitions, run a non-profit organization to do so.
It takes a lot of time and it’s frustrating, but look at what individuals like Louis Rossmann and Ross Scott have been able to pull off with Right to Repair and the Stop Killing Games Movement.
Civilisation is ending, probably the whole of humanity and we will likely take much of the other animals with us. Humanity is an extinction event. Its all over but for dying now, just carry on living your life and just know this is it, we failed the great filter. We could have done something about this once we understood the problem from any point from the 19th century onwards but the failure of Kyoto agreement in the 1990s marked the point where we were always going to fail, it was the last moment where correction could save us. The last tipping point will happen in the next year or two and then a whole bunch more of unknown events will occur that we didn’t even predict. The temperature growth will continue to accelerate.
We can do what we can do to stop making it worse. Work togetther to change our habits. Do what we can to make do with less and feel good about it. “Every dollar is a vote”, definitely. Work with the people who know what’s in store for them, like farmers. Skip a trip now and then. Use mass transit more. Keep improving our home, if we have one, so it’s better-insulated. Use better options for heating (wear more clothes instead of burning more fuel) and cooling. Stop admiring consumption and buy lasting, healthier products. Walk away from wasteful consumption, the investors will turn elsewhere unless companies respond.
We can keep in mind the world we’re making, and how we will best to live in it. And become living examples of alternatives that are inevitable.
So, realistically, what can a rando do?
Nothing. It’s not our individual fault. It’s going to keep going no matter what you or I do (short of terrorism) until the whole thing crashes down around us.
Sure but what can one tangably do? Go to areas that are probably going to do well (or just not terrible) in the coming years?

tangibly?
If you have a lot of time and enough conviction:
Lobbying, petitions, run a non-profit organization to do so.
It takes a lot of time and it’s frustrating, but look at what individuals like Louis Rossmann and Ross Scott have been able to pull off with Right to Repair and the Stop Killing Games Movement.
If you don’t have as much time:
Donate some time to projects to help out. For example, take a look at some of the projects listed underneath “Climate” category on Zooniverse: https://www.zooniverse.org/projects?discipline=climate
Here’s a description of the project, “ClimateViz”:
Look up the Earth Liberation Force and take their tactics one step higher

This comment could be from the future it’s so accurate.
