Nobody said I’m doing nothing. I am voting for the people who claim they will fix it. I am doing my tiny drop in the bucket I can for the environment myself on my tiny scale. And even if by some wild miracle the people i vote for actually do shit… Aliens are more likely then, say, the Chinese government growing a conscience getting their shit together and fixing shit over there. Hell those fuckers are operating concentration camps right this second. You think they are gonna stop dumping tons of CO2 into the atmosphere in even the next 100 years when they are people who are happily and openly committing genocide?
So…you say I’m doing nothing. How do I stop china? How do I stop India? Give me a solid game plan for an American in the midwest to put an end to the 14 tons of CO2 the Chinese put into the atmosphere per year.
Stop buying imported Chinese crap, for starters. If you don’t, then that’s great, but almost everyone does to some extent. Some is unavoidable, but try to minimize it.
Buy quality items that are built to last. Ask yourself if you really need something or if you just want it. Spread the word to others to do the same. Tell all your friends to stop buying shit from Temu, Wish, dollar stores and other crap-merchants.
On the positive side, China is in fact growing their renewable capacity at a higher rate than anywhere else in the world, and also building nuclear plants. However the amount of power required for manufacturing to feed the world’s endless appetite for disposable crap is vast and mostly supplied by burning coal.
It would be nice if we could. I do manufacture carbide tooling that is much higher quality than the import stuff, and we sell it at a fair price. Only because we have an old, paid for, well kept machine to do it, because otherwise we couldn’t compete.
But you can tell that I’m talking about disposable crap if you actually read my comment. Superballs that don’t bounce, plastic holiday decor that crumbles in UV light, erasers shaped like a kitten that just smear the pencil lead around.
We already bent it from 4C by 2100 to 3C by 2100. We can change outcomes if we work for them.
Success is not guaranteed, but one way to guarantee failure is to do nothing and sit around hoping for aliens.

Okay do you start to making led’s, solar panels and electronics for an affordable price? Nice

China is working on it. China added more solar panels in 2023 than US did in its entire history
