I don't think I've ever met a single person IRL who acts like it's not. It's part of everyday conversation, it's on YouTube constantly, it's been legislated on in one of the largest bills in American history, automobilr companies are going all electric by 2040. American dairy is carbon neutral by 2050. The first active carbon sequestering plant went online.
Just because you feel like being a doomer and not helping through apathy based propaganda doesn't mean other people all over aren't doing their part.
And thats where we can observe that pushing the responsibility towards the smallest customer was just greenwashing and was for nothing.
I dont have the source at hand.
But we have like 20-30 corperations which take most of the emissions (and other environmental damages as well).
But since we dont have a global allieance on the political side, we dont have a chance against global coroerations.
Sadly its an uphill battle. Or chicken egg problem, or whatever.
