    I love the corporations vs. individuals climate debate. On the one hand, you’ve got those who count on the public’s willpower to make massive lifestyle changes. On the other, you’ve got those who think the government can weather lobbying and public outrage and force big corpos to cut emissions (which will also mean massive lifestyle changes)

    Or we can just wait until the climate catastrophe destroys our way of living.

    I don’t think the system works.

      The main issue is that people have been brainwashed into thinking peaceful protest is a viable method of achieving change against governments that are more than happy to butcher/enslave/maim you to preserve the status quo.
