No it won't. We can't consume our way out of this. It'll be won in drastic legislation.
Which means it won't be won.
Probably. By the time legislators get on board, it'll be way too late. It's already too late, but it'll be too late to avoid even the most disastrous consequences.
Yep. We're on course for the worst of it thanks to the oil companies convincing half the population climate change isn't even real.
Let's not forget all the paid politicians, shills, current deniers, and every single company that chooses profit over doing what's right (so, all of them). We're all culpable to varying extents. But people in power had a responsibility to the rest of us, and they chose greed and power when given the opportunity.
