> Problem with climate discussions is that 99.9% of people don’t have any impact whatsoever

Individually certainly nobody has any appreciable impact. But seen as a collective, everyone's individual decisions add up to pretty much all of the impact.

And this is true for everyone as long as the incentives are aligned as they are: It is cheaper, more convenient and generally allows for a more interesting lifestyle to pollute.
