How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Does anyone care about the climate at this point?
Feels like I'm the only one to be honest.
No, there's dozens of us. Dozens!
I counted 8, i think you're rigging the polls/s
No, no, that's lemmy users. /s
I care, but… I’m pretty exhausted at this point.
We are keeping our carbon cap and trade system here in Washington at least. We will be helping world CO2 emissions go down 0.3% (~100 million tons out of the 35 billion tons).
When I can afford it in the next few years, I plan on doing solar on the house. I drive as infrequently as possible and prefer my motorbike over my car (though my car is also only 660cc engine). I grow some of my own food and plan to steadily increase that as I learn and get better at farming. I try to buy local and regional where possible. I've stopped buying beef at home and it is now a special occasion food a handful of times a year.
I'm just one dude and ultimately make little difference, but I do care.
With Trump in office who hates solar and wind power good luck wirh that. Were done not happening. We going have hard time eating in next few months.
Good luck getting cheap solar panels.
Stein, West, and a handful of other candidates did, yes
