Every ton matters. Every ton buys us time or costs it to us
Exactly, well said

Your opinion articles boil down to “instead we should do even more than we did before”, which is cute, but exactly the opposite of what’s happening, making it incredibly ironic. The last one even calls out your complacent optimism. People are already fed up with current climate action, which is laughable. Real climate action, what we’d actually need to do, would affect everyone even more. You’d see an even larger rise in the far right and climate denial. But keep doing your token contributions while thinking there’s still some magic way of fixing things.
Will do 👍 Make sure you keep spouting the same Doomer bullshit over and over, I’m sure it’s really helping! 👍
My guy, it’s called realism. I already do what I can, unlike 99% of the rest of the world who have all significantly higher footprints than me and still cry about everything. Your toxic positivity is just going to help doom this moronic species because you think some positive thinking and online messages will do anything.
Where do you live? If you live in Northern America, or Europe, you most probably are not in the 1% that have the lowest carbon footprint in the world.
I don’t want to remove any credibility or minimize any of your effort! I wish people would take it as seriously as you are, but just existing in a modern society is horrible for the environment.
I am more or less both, because I’m piss poor living in a rich country. I quite literally cannot afford to have a high emission lifestyle. I never owned a car, I never went on a plane, I don’t have warm water, I had like 2 pants for the past 20 years, slept on the floor for more than half a decade, etc. etc. I simply can’t play consumerism like most of you all.
More importantly though, I’m for very radical climate policies which obviously would be seen as extremism in our societies.
We were on a 3 degree path BEFORE Trump got re-elected, with many signs pointing towards us highly overestimating the amount of time we had as well. The West was supposed to carry the burden of the developing countries in regards to emissions, since we were the ones emitting the historic majority of it already, but we didn’t, we already failed at that task. And now with Trump the US will go in full reverse mode. The rest of the world quite literally cannot compensate for that. It’s basically over now. There’s no “time to buy” anymore. And for what anyway? We don’t need more time, we need significant climate action being taken. But no one actually wants that. Not companies, not politicians, not voters. People who do are a tiny fringe movement of “extremists”.
Pack it in guys! A random person on Lemmy has told us it’s all over! Stop everything we’re doing and do nothing!
You’re in denial. But it doesn’t matter. Your snarky ass feel good reaction is not going to change the reality of the situation.
Lucky we’ve got you to set us all straight, huh?
If only you’d actually listen, yeah.
