I think a binary system leaves no room for nuance, and therefore, no ability for consumers to make informed decisions. What about a scale instead? 1 could mean “Cancerous? Technically, but don’t worry about it unless you’re mainlining it 23 hours a day, dude.” And 10 could mean, “Seriously, make sure your will is updated.”

I know it’s slightly different, but that’s why I never buy “lifetime” subscriptions when they’re offered through apps because I don’t trust for a second that they won’t just up and change their policy in the future when somebody gets a wild greedy hair up their ass and decides to screw over their loyal customers.
I was mainly referring to people with the power to effect significant change--politicians, world leaders, CEOs, etc, not your average person. I guess I should've been clearer on that point. I guess when I think about how many people in those positions are likely narcissists or psychopaths it starts to make more sense that they wouldn't care about their kids and grandkids, so...
I just can't believe how many people, knowing their own kids and grandkids will be inheriting the earth they've scorched, refuse to take even the smallest action to mitigate the effects of climate change. Everyone can clearly see the effects at this point, so you have to be either callous or stupid--or both, I guess...
Now we're cookin' with gas! er...without gas.
