A world in which something is actually done is one in which some posers start jerking off over their green consumption, while another group of people who have actually gotten rid of their cars ridicule them.
My approach just takes the fun out of posing.
People are creatures of habit. Ask them to do too much all at once and they will fail, if they try at all. Ask them for too much again and again, and you are training them to fail, to give up, or to ignore you altogether.
That's why you need a plan with incrementally more difficult goals, and some logic to achieve a certain necessary amount in a certain time. Like what the experts are telling us.
Believe it or not, humanity is making steady progress on climate change. It will speed up in the next decade.
No, we are making just about no progress. And the reason that we aren't making all that much progress is because of virtue signaling posers who are quite literally selling the idea that we don't have to significantly change the way that we live, while jerking off about their 'green consumerism'. Posers want to spend all of their time talking about climate change deniers because that gives them a ridiculously easy adversary to feel superior to, and morally jerk off over, while living lifestyles that yield a carbon footprint that is almost as bad as that of the deniers.
I used to get ridiculed by environmentalists for my meat consumption. That's actually how I learned that ridicule is good. They called me a poser who wasn't very serious about environmentalism. Eventually, a lot of what they were saying sunk in. I am still not a vegetarian. But my meat consumption is only about a tenth of what it used to be.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
