UN chief says fossil fuels are "incompatible with human survival" as world breaks temperature records - Lemmy.world

the reality is that will take decades. I'm not going to stop driving my gas fueled vehicle & neither is anyone who reads this
i would if i could.
ah, but you cant - and that's exactly my point. nothing is going to change immediately.
I think the counter-point is that you owe it to yourself to do everything in your power, or to do everything you find reasonable, to combat climate change anyway - even if things won’t change immediately. Maybe a new car isn’t immediately affordable, but a solar panel to power your electronics most certainly is. Or you could start recycling, or grow a low-water-usage or pollinator-friendly garden. But most importantly, vote for politicians that give a fuck about the environment.
