You're right, since the only two options are the destruction of the planet or to stop using literally anything ever at all, I guess I'll fucking kill myself now

Yes? That's why we'd have to go after the corporations, the problem arises at production. Truth is we're overpopulated because of the bosch-haber cycle, which is fueled by fossil fuels.

The alternative is certain extinction

How about we lower our collective emissions by tossing you into a volcano, instead? Would you like that?

As a matter of fact they are not. Otherwise we would see a drastic shift in policy and voting behaviour, given how strongly the climate changed in the past decade. But instead people vote conservative and reactionary again, after they lost their homes in wildfires, floods and storms that can be reliably linked to climate change, and whose occurence renders their home area unliveable in the long run.

We had a flood two years ago in Germany killing over 200 people. Our former conservative party, now populist reactionary, removed a law for flood protection just two month prior to the devastating flood. And the people most affected voted for them again in the upcoming election. And that was after the parties chancellor candidate laughed heartily in the background while the president held a speech mourning the victims.

The people are either dumb, or ignorant or both. They'd rather die than change anything in the slightest way.

Go on Facebook and look for the comment section of news coverage on EVs or anything climate related. They are at most vaguely familiar with the issue, or deny it in some shape or form
