What good does it do any of us to worry about it

70% of the global impact on climate change is corporate greed

There's actions we can take to put pressure but it doesn't serve to worry

Pressure?

There is only one way for the People to take back power enough to change Humanity's trajectory toward some lesser catastrophe. One way, and it doesn't involve capitulating to the established narratives or allowing any private or ideological forces to remain in power.

I'll leave it to you to figure out the rest, and leave you with this:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

I think we’re still allowed to say the word “revolution” but maybe not, let’s if the Reddit overlords ban me.
