I started getting sad about climate change two years ago after seeing Planet Earth and many documentaries. I completely changed my lifestyle to reduce my part and put significant effort into it.

But seeing rich celebrities who use as much as a common man’s lifetime resources in a week or two, and others who barely put in any effort to combat it, and corporations fucking the entire planet for quarterly profits, barely any efforts towards fighting it even though we had known about its consequences 30-40 years ago, I get this feeling that my efforts are even worth it.

Slowly, I told myself that evolution failed itself by giving a bit more individual selfishness over community/species survival. Just like human beings, Earth’s time has started to end. Its death is inevitable. Everything should come to an end. Only if evolution had given a bit more thought to species survival, we would be in a much better place.

How do you all deal with this?

    Capitalism is the cause of climate change. Corporations are interested only in max profits. This won’t change under capitalist countries, ever. Study socialism and join a local org or party that you ideologically support.

    China is controlled by the communist party and its policies aren’t driven by short-term profits. There are corporations but they can’t go against the interests of the Chinese society, unlike the USA. Look at how China generates more clean energy than the UK total electricity output.
