    I don’t have anything funny or witty to say, the whole situation is just depressing to me. Me and my circle of friends are trying to go as green as we can for all the good it will do. I think we’re doing pretty well, but then there’s huge countries like USA, China and India with their carbon emissions.

    Like, what are we supposed to do here? Be cooked alive in a few years? Rational discourse has clearly broken down and the people up top are not listening nor do they care.

      At least China has concrete plans that it’s actively implementing while western countries just keep talking about the problem without taking any action. I think it’s also important to keep in mind that per capita energy consumption in China are already less than half of western nations, and even below what 2000 watts which was found to be a good benchmark for sustainable consumption. Finally, lot of pollution in China is also driven by consumer demand in the west.

      Overall, I completely agree with you though. It’s just kind of depressing to know what’s coming in a few years and watch most major nations completely ignore the problem.
