I release personal responsibility for it. The leaders and influence class of a handful of rich countries are personally responsible. It is not a problem that can be solved individually or through grassroots action. Only coordinated political action can change the outcome. A well structured global carbon tax or carbon removal grant would begin solving the problem rapidly. If you have a vote, use it to support candidates who want to enact new green economic policy.

I spent 8 years working for environmental nonprofits and I’m proud of my contribution but don’t feel like any non-influential person needs to walk around with personal guilt, no matter what our fundraising materials or political ads may have said to the contrary.

So please go live your life as you see fit, and if that means going to work for NRDC, then by all means. They are a good group of folks that will be happy to have your talent. And if that means mega-yachts, go for it till we manage to tax them out of existence.
