You can go carbon-neutral yourself. It’s not cheap, but it keeps getting cheaper over time. Then eliminate meat from your diet and reduce your plastic waste.

If everyone did that, the biggest problems would be solved. So that’s a reasonable thing for you to do.

Don’t fall for the learned helplessness encouraged by fossil fuel companies.

Any solution to a problem that starts 'If everyone did ...' is the deadest of expired ducks.

Global ecosystem collapse is a systems issue of vast complexity. While we need at a minimum to (1) take down capitalism and (2) explore social and 'economic' (scare quotes intended) alternatives, no-one really knows how to do these things. They're certainly far beyond my capacities to contemplate. This has little to do with 'fossil fuel companies'.
