Record-breaking increase in CO2 levels in world’s atmosphere | Experts issue warning after finding global average concentration in March was 4.7ppm higher than same period last year
Congratulations. You are part of the problem.
Actual statistics and basically every poll show that the vast majority of people agrees and wants to do much more to address climate change on a personal and government level. And just like you most of them are suffering from propaganda-induced brain rot and believe that they are totally alone with that opinion so it unfortunately has no sense to even try. So they don’t.
You can talk about what people say they want to do or you can look at what they actually do. They glorify overconsumption as a way of showing personal success, value, luxury, self worth, etc. They reproduce far too often.
Congratulations! You, by virtue of being another member of our overly abundant, highly resource consuming species, are also part of the problem.
That sounds like an opinion born of understandable frustration. However evidence suggests that people are more willing to make changes than you might think: https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2021/09/14/in-response-to-climate-change-citizens-in-advanced-economies-are-willing-to-alter-how-they-live-and-work/pg_2021-09-14_climate_0-01-png/
