Just look what happened when lockdown gave the natural world a chance to breathe.

We COULD offset a fucktonne of CO2 if we changed our lifestyle.

But do you remember HOW FUCKDAMN HARD half the population fought against that literally while their grandparents were dying in agony?

Keep that in mind when you consider any monolithic action of altruism.

Can we stop global warning with radical changes to our consumption?

Absolutely yes.

Not without direct government action.
