It is a summer of extremes. Burning temperatures followed by raging fires. Wild storms and torrential rain. And a run of broken climate records.

We reap what we sow.
I’d argue that a lot of people are reaping what a much smaller number people have sown. Not to say that we all don’t hold some blame in some part, but some are significantly more to blame than others. An emissions per capita map overlaid with a projected impact from climate change map explains it well.
I would agree with that.
It’s challenging to set who’s really responsible for climate change, as we could say someone living in suburbia and driving a SUV, while owning three cars and voting for a party that subsidizes coal has definitely a lot of blame.
However someone who has been born in said situation yet moved to the city, uses public transportation and do their best to reduce their impact can’t really be rolled in the mix with it.
Slowly but gradually the earlier will keep dying and fading out while the latter will push towards greener, less impactful approaches, however once that happens it will already be 50 years late.
