I really, really wish I believed my government was meeting their obligation to tackling this: https://climateactiontracker.org/

I wonder if Congress realizes the mental health burden this lack of sufficient action has on their young population.

It's easy to feel powerless but if you want to be part of the solution one thing you could consider is donating 5-10% of your income to reputable charities that focus on direct action where it is needed most: https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/charities/founders-pledge-cl...

Another thing you can do is encourage people not to vote for politicians who claim climate change isn't happening and learn how to counter common misconceptions and the techniques that best change people's mind: https://www.edx.org/course/making-sense-of-climate-science-d...

I really hope our species can solve this collective action problem because I'd hate to imagine how future generations will look back on us. People seem to think technology is going to somehow make things go back to how it was. That things will get better. Things are never going to get better, they are only going to get worse. How much worse depends on what we do today.

I can't edit my other comment, but this is even better source to explain the lack of action from our governments.

"What is ecologically and socially necessary for sustainability is not polically feasible, but the politically feasible is ecologically and socially ineffective, if not catastrophic." (time @ 50.20)
