@alexwild

Alex - I have to take exception to your assertion that ("we"- the actual people- have little power to make the decisions necessary to fix things). It is the opinion of many that if “we” the actual people don’t take individual action to reduce global warming then all is lost. Just take the food we eat for example:

“Cutting animal-based foods in US diet by half could prevent 1.6 billion tons of GHG emissions by 2030” https://news.umich.edu/cutting-animal-based-foods-in-us-diet-by-half-could-prevent-1-6-billion-tons-of-ghg-emissions-by-2030/

“15.4% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from animal agriculture, comparable to all transportation (cars, trucks, trains, planes) combined.” https://ffacoalition.org/facts/animal-ag-emissions/

“A human who follows a #plantbased diet, produces 50% less CO2, uses 1/11 oil, 1/13 water and 1/18 the land, compared to a #meat eater” https://www.cowspiracy.com/facts

You are correct when you say “The small group of sociopathic billionaires driving the destruction would like nothing more than for us to blame ourselves for what they are actively doing to us, absolving them of blame.”
But that means only that “We, the actual people, must understand their motivation & then act in a way that helps the planet.

IMO the problem with trying to convince people to consider changing their diet to reduce GHGs caused by Animal Agriculture is that the current US Government is not incentivized to inform the public of the climate impacts. Therefore, we, the people, have to act without waiting for our Leaders.

E.g, the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Agriculture (USDA) work together to update and release the Dietary Guidelines every five years.

The USDA may be the most dangerous & corrupt ‘Captive Agency’ in the U.S. government & the worst for climate change! Please read: “Abolish the Department of Agriculture” https://newrepublic.com/article/164874/abolish-department-agriculture
And yet, the blindingly obvious truth is that earth cannot support 70B+ farmed animals *ANNUALLY* & the only way we can stop the breeding, confinement, drugging, slaughtering and processing of 70 billion land animals every year is by people choosing to drastically reduce their consumption of animal products (especially beef).

Fortunately the EAT-Lancet Commission has proposed a global planetary health diet that is healthy for both people and the planet. https://eatforum.org/lancet-commission/eatinghealthyandsustainable/

So, I implore everyone to understand that when it comes to the #ClimateEmergency - It is not hopeless & we, the people are not helpless! However we must take individual action - without asking anyone!
