What actions will you take to ensure the summer of 2050 isn't 200F?

Solar + heat pumps, electric vehicle (I'd rather use public transit, but I live in the wilderness), eating locally-grown seasonal fruits and vegetables, etc.

I walk this walk, bud, but at the same time, whatever I do is completely irrelevant if we don't get off our collective asses and force the governments and corporations to do their part.

At least when your grandkids look up from reading books where you’ve had to explain what ice skating was, and ask you, “What did you do?”, you’ll be able to answer honestly, “I did my best. Sadly kids, most people back then were arseholes.”

We are individually responsible for our actions. Nothing more.

We are collectively responsible for the outcome.

How will these actions ensure the summer of 2050 isn't 200F?
I know you are just playing the fool here, but do you sincerely believe doing nothing is likely to achieve a better outcome?
