Why is our species so goddamn stupid? I fucking hate us. We suck.
We're super smart apes who weren't ready for the society we made. Climate change requires an ability to make changes for something that you might never have to deal with the consequences about, which we're not designed for.
Misanthropy is climate action denial, inappropriate for the challenges climate change creates, because it blames those who emit nothing and those who emit all equally.
