More accurately:

Climate change isn't real
Climate change isn't real but we don't want to change to avoid it
Climate change isn't real, but the science says otherwise but that changes nothing
Climate change is real, but we want you to do the hard work by doing pointless things
Climate change is real, but its your fault and not ours because you're poor
Climate change is real, and we're now in a feedback cycle from overextended forests, permafrost releases, and overdevelopment, and doing anything impacts the most poor so there's nothing we can do about it.
Climate change is real, we the wealthy and privileged did it, and there's nothing you can do about it <-- you are here
Climate change is real, and we're dipping to colonize another planet while you all die
The Earth is uninhabitable

The Earth is uninhabitable for humans

My buddy the crabs will evolve through this apocalypse and the next

No, this is backwards. Whatever survives will evolve into crabs. 🦀

im down for a human 2: things get crabby kinda season for the human race

I don't think space colonization is feasible.

It sounds good, but the sheer logistics of it are mind blowing. It sounds cool to terraform Mars, but that's a multi-hundred year process that will require quadrillions of dollars. It would be cheaper and faster fixing the Earth.

no whatll actually happen is intentional mass dust cover to cool down the earth using NUKES and stuff like volcanoes cooling areas with ash cover because space travel is a fun hobby but its impossible en masse (i speak uneducated on the matter but im confident in myself)

this is my prediction place ur bets

I'm gonna suggest there's a cognitive dissonance going on here

Climate change is real but it's only the wealthy that should do something about it <-- you are here

Collective action is part of the answer. The influential will do what they do, sure. But the 60 million normal people in the UK absolutely have an impact

The bargaining power of the masses assumes that said masses have a viable say in the process.

If your options are: buy power from the only company supplying it or not have power, is that really a choice?

[–] kenbw2@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Indeed, not much you can do about the power grid. Normally the choice is about consuming less.

Drive less, fly less, eat less meat etc

Well, there are billionaires preppers who probably would be prepared to become your feudal lords. Are the peasants uncontrollable? Well, Musk is working on a brain chip tech.
