Oh I completely agree there. We do our best to recycle etc but nations and the largest companies dwarf anything we as individuals can do.

I've always hated the fact they try and lay the climate degradation at our feet like throwing way 6 beer cans is what is causing the problem and not EVERYTHING they do to continue producing despite the damage. It's exhausting being told we are the ones to save it when Shell/Exxon/BP can't stop dumping oil in the ocean and the best response they can manage is "Oopsie!". That South Park bit about "we're sorry." was oddly prescient on how others would model their PR emergency response.
