The best things we could do to effect some form of meaningful climate trade, is add our weight to any penalties applied to countries who are the biggest perpetrators, by not buying their products, not trading with them. The problem with things like that, is everyone likes their iphones way too much! Also our trade amounts to only a rounding error too, but "we have to start somewhere".

 

 

 

 

That pretty much sums it up. To make a distinct difference would require the whole world to make a huge shift in lifestyle, but we're not prepared to do that, because despite any imminent doom (real or imagined) we do like our current lifestyle (think phones, electronics, travel.... and all things un-green). 

 

So why don't we legislate to change all that? Because a government wants to be re-elected. 

 

So why would a government that cares for the people enough to save them from extinction NOT be relected? well obviously the MAJORITY of the population doesn't care, or that government would be re-elected, unquestionably.

 

So despite an army sjw's trying their best to effect meaningful change, unfortunately it would seem that the majority of the people aren't actually interested in change. 

 

Thankyou for restating my belief that the opposition and denial being displayed in this thread is motivated by selfishness and avarice. It also explains why when ever some dares say we should change, or state a environmentally friendly notion they are ridiculed and insulted. I further illustrates the belief that because of a perceived majority of the population does not care that somehow legitimises the denial and refutes the notion of climate change.
