Environmental activists are annoying, and the real problem is capitalism. No personal decisions we regular, non-billionaires make (whether or not to use a plastic straw for example) will have an impact. Only big corporations and billionaires can do anything about climate change.

thx for coming to my Ted Talk, Greta stans.

Let's be real, no one cares about climate change. Or at least not enough to make the sacrifices in their daily lives that would be needed to actually make a difference.

You're progressing OP! Good job!

This is usually where the goal posts move to after a denialist gets his head out of the sand.

China isn't the problem. Per capita, US emits more CO2 than China so don't give me that bullshit.

I've never been a denialist. This is the goal post for climate-change believers when they've grown out of being a naive bright-eyed and youthful college student thinking they can make a big difference in the world. Looking forward for everyone to be like the trees they hug and exhibit growth.

You can okay boomer me but you will see.

To care about CC you have to assume humanity is going to be around long enough to be affected.

Again, there is no sacrifice that we normal non-billionaires can make in our daily lives that would make a difference. It's not up to us. Use plastic straws. Take a warm bath. Live your life.

Right, it's up to capital itself, to those individuals who sit astride this system, benefiting from it, to abolish or meaningfully reform it

That's how change happens.

Damn you got it all figured out TC thanks for enlightening us
