Ironically, it’s the daily activities such as flying glorious ocean fish on aircraft which dump huge amounts of CO2 and water vapor into the stratosphere, or trucking them in refrigerated trucks all across the country, that led to this problem.

I know you were /s here, but I point this out because there is a huge amount of personal responsibility implied by climate change. Even if one doesn’t believe humans are driving it, climate change is happening and humans have to deal with it. From a mitigation perspective, individual consumer choices have a large bearing in his successful we will ultimately be.

People don’t like the implications, though, and either most people don’t connect the dots or are in denial that their choices count. Sadly, this trend is worse among climate change believers.[1]

Kidding aside, ordering less fresh ocean fish during winter is a meaningful personal start.
