Our rulers are hell-bent on killing off the majority of life on this planet, including our species. Can't help but wonder if people will ever wake up and do the obvious.

Only when profits fall, as a result.
The thing is that nobody has worked out how to make climate action profitable. Or at least not profitable in the short term.
That’s simply not true, there are a bunch of companies that focus on sustainability that use it as their main business model. Sustainability is profitable in many cases. Look at how well solar panels sell for example, good luck finding a contractor that can place them in the next couple of months (they are all booked).
The main issue is that companies with old business models, that cannot easily change, hold the majority of the power. Look at for instance Shell, they are not really making a switch and are still actively polluting villages in Africa to pump their oil.
and it’s only going to get worse! this is tragic.
Exactly. Shoots my anxiety all the way up because it’s not shit I can do about it. The people who can change things don’t give af.
Plenty of low-hanging fruit we can get rid of immediately to help slow this down. Like private jets. There's no reason they need to exist.
It doesn't have to be this way.
That ship has sailed ... it is this way. Adapt or die.
