The 2024 ‘State of the climate’ report says climate scientists are more worried than ever and calls for ‘transformative science-based solutions across all aspects of society.’
Tldr: if 99% of the pollution is being done by 0.1% of the people, then even removing 99% of the population won’t have much effect.
99% of the pollution isn’t being done by the 0.1% though, I think that was a silly article that was like: all the pollution from cars comes from oil which is refined by this company but is dug out the ground by this oil extraction company, therefore all the pollution is actually done by the oil extraction company! … I don’t buy it tbh
For me it’s silly thinking there will be some bird flu or asteroid impact, the reality is this:
Get yourself some solar panels, a solar battery, a heat pump for your hot water and an EV (if you have a petrol car and need one) + vote for political parties that are pushing for more renewables to be installed and you’ve done 99% of what you need to do, it’s that simple
Energy for heating/cooling and road transport are the biggest and easiest for the average person to tackle and can make the biggest dent in co2 emissions

More than pushing for an EV, push for walkable and bikeable cities and good public transit.
Indeed the facts should matter there, and that’s a convincing graph:-)
