Not the OP, but I think the point is valid.

I was born in the 70s, and my entire life I've been hearing climate alarmism - the end of the world is nigh (or just around the corner). No, really, this time it's for real! Donate here to stop it.

Most of the "solutions" I've seen are worse than the problem. Recycling was a major con that no one wants to talk about.

Carbon offset credits? Really?

With the amount of alarmism and blatant opportunism in the space, it's pretty hard to sift through and focus on real, meaningful change. Like not wasting precious aquifer water on lawns.

Simple stuff that would have real impact. Taxing the hell out of single use plastic water bottles.

We've done it before. The anti CFC thing was a huge success. Seems like that should be a model to follow.

Instead of pearl-clutching global alarmism, we should narrowly focus on concrete problems with real, measurable solutions, and address them one by one.
