I cared. I no longer do, I’m going to enjoy life for as long as we’re able to live, may we soon all die from hunger, I guess.
I mean, what’s the alternative? I really can’t do anything about it and actual solutions will require changing how humanity lives, forever, and it will literally take us centuries to fix this, even if tomorrow magically we change everything. Doesn’t matter, nobody alive today will see the world environment how it was 2 centuries ago before the industrial revolution.
And again, that is best and magical case. Reality? Those in charge don’t care, won’t do anything, will actively actually make it even worse if it gets them money and humanity doesn’t want to change car centric cites and is all whooed by electric cars that won’t solve the actual problem.
Nobody is using equipment which lasts for centuries. This means we can get the world economy off fossil fuels on a timescale of decades, not centuries.
You nailed exactly how I feel. Those of us just trying to make it day to day can’t be the only ones trying to do anything when a corporation kills the planet equivalent to a billion people polluting. Someone who accidentally spills oil in the driveway gets in more trouble than a company dumping millions of gallons into the ocean.
Yeah but our economy?

So do enjoy everyone, while we still can.
You’re not responsible for the whole world but you are responsible for your own actions.
Nobody is using equipment which lasts for centuries. This means we can get the world economy off fossil fuels on a timescale of decades, not centuries.
The super-fast version of that looks like:
The IPCC has a detailed chart showing the short-term parts of that
