    We have millions of people who care, and even if every single one of us produced a carbon neutral footprint(which isn’t possible for everyone) it still wouldn’t stop what’s coming at this point. It would slow it down but not stop it because 100 companies are responsible for 71% of all greenhouse gasses, and only 25 companies and state owned orgs are responsible for over 50% of the global industrial emissions. Without stopping them, you are throwing an icecube on a forest fire.

    Hell, the top 1% of co2 producers produce 1000 times more than the bottom 1% which is you and me.

      So buy one more day for us to have a revolution and end the pollution. If you have 1/100000000000000 the power of an oil CEO, and you still use that power polluting the environment for your own convenience, then what makes you better than them? That you would theoretically have done less damage if only your actions mattered a little more?

        If you want a revolution, then you need to get their hands bloody, and people are not willing to do that. I don’t blame them I’m not willing to either.

            I already recycle and walk as much as I can, but I unfortunately am not able to walk much due to where I live and an injury. The city close to where I live already has bike lanes and a fairly good public transit. It’s cool that you are an environmental terrorist and all, but I still don’t see what you or your armed group has done to stop or even slow down Exxon or companies like them.
