We aren't facing a binary outcome. Our actions now, even small ones, have tangible effects on the outcomes we face in a highly non-linear way.

That would be the case if a global change for a better world would have started already and its just a question of how long it takes, but that simply isn't what's happening right now.

Even the most impactfull laws made are only at the level of feel good politic like the plastic straw ban was. The only thing the EU seems fixed on are EVs which honestly aren't much of an improvement. And any government that tries to implement good policies looses tons of support cause people can't deal with any loss in quality of life.

At the moment the only outcome we are facing is the worst possible one and no amount of personal change has any impact whatsoever.
