Those things still help though, and we have no control over what big ass corporations do

Strange how people can be so oblivious as to the role they play in the consumption of energy and materials...

I've recently started to believe that the only way climate change is going to end is if a very, very large percentage of the human population dies off very quickly... like... 70-80% or more. One billion people still seems like too many.

This is just a fact, and since media outlets never mention it you can tell who they are in the pocket of (the large corp advertisers)

Have we tried to kill all the poor?

I'm not saying do it. I'm saying run it through the computer, see if it would work.

I mean... I'll contribute and do my part because I do care, and that's the type of person I am, but we do need regulation in place for the top contributors to global warming and pollution, which are corporations and celebrities.

Plus, it's bullshit to say that you should take a bus or train or bike or whatever instead of a car when you have disgusting car-centric infrastructure that forces you to drive.

I'd be happy to switch to a smart thermostat if they weren't all so privacy-invading. Nest, the most popular one, is owned by Google, and there's no Google in my home. I'm completely deGoogled and will keep it that way.
