Do you consider yourself "aware" of the current climate situation?

I know about it and I do my part. Like I don’t throw plastic on the ground, plastic bags or anything. I recycle so I’m doing my part but my part won’t help if no one else does it.

Thank you, for what you do & also for sharing your perspective.

I'm aware, but I can't really do anything. The only company selling electricity in my area gets it from coal and is uninterested in other sources.
I can't even recycle without it being a hassle because there are no recycling bins where I live and I don't have a car :/

It's really hard for the single person to make any difference at all, especially in a situation like yours. Sometimes I feel like the majority of people in power simply want this to happen. Wether thats true or not I don't know, but the problem persists.
Thank you for the secondary input.

I’m “aware” of it and still think it’s not severe enough to cut off energy sources in the US.
But that’s just me 🤷🏼♀️

With cut off energy sources you mean it's not severe enough to get rid of damaging energy sources?

Correct.
Because we still require the same amount of energy as we did before. We just acquire it from a different, but equally damaging source…which, interestingly enough, happens to be Russia.
And now that we’re energy-dependent, we’re effectively funding Russia’s war against Ukraine through our (avoidable) foreign purchase of energy. Which also happens to increase the cost of literally everything across the globe.
So…in sum, we’re arguably acquiring energy from a MUCH more damaging source…because of its immediate and obvious impact on human life.
We’re fucking up the earth no matter where we get our shit from…be it the US or Russia. The demand is still the same, regardless of its source. So we might as well not bankrupt the world because we want to look good/appear “green,” because, in reality, we’re not green at all. We still use oil and gas to the same extent, but now we’re promoting Russian warfare against Ukraine in the process. And it’s not even cheap.

Yes, and i think its way to late to do anything now, so whatever, lets just enjoy ourselves as long as we can
The possibility is still there, according to ICPP.
However, a real, lasting improval would take for the worlds top 100 companies to immediately stop their acceleration of climate change & an immediate worldwide turn to green & nuclear energy. Without a global uproar, this truly seems to be impossible.
Thank you for your insight & for sharing your thoughts!
Yup, the sad thing is that the top 100 companies are also top 100 greediest companies, and there is just no conceivable reality where the rich would put sustainability over profits. Constant desire for exponential growth is whats gonna kill us.
