no one did anything about that exxon report from the 80s that predicted pretty much everything that’s happened with the climate, so…
The fossil fuels industry has been able to buy enough power to block most action. We did get the Inflation Reduction Act, as well as other executive-branch actions in the past few years though.. It’s not yet enough, but if we can attain just a touch more political power, it’ll be possible to do a lot more.

That’s basically the roadmap for how we’re going to operate going forward
I know your comment is satirical so I don’t really want to take it in bad faith, but all the same. . . .
Lots of people are working reeaaally hard at changing society for the better, and reducing environmental catastrophe, the studies from the 80s sparked soneof the biggest environmental groups we have today (the likes of Green Peace and Friends of the Earth).
Lots of other people, often with money, are cynically blocking the protection of the human race for their own gain. And the majority of people are caught between these groups, often feeling despondent.
My point is, don’t get despondent, get involved! You can join the first groups efforts today, and it you do, you’ll be concretely helping the survival of our planet and society.
If you’re interested in specifics, both Green Peace and Just Stop Oil hold regular monthly/weekly welcome to all sessions (if you know about others, post them here!)
