Climate scientists have long contended that highlighting individual actions, rather than those of wider industries that contribute to the vast majority of greenhouse gas emissions, is not the way to effectively mitigate climate change.

People concerned about the climate crisis should remember that these systems already in place were set up for them and they are not to blame, Astrid Caldas, a senior climate scientist at nonprofit Union of Concerned Scientists, told ABC News.For some people, depending on their temperament, current behaviors and general attitude toward the world, shaming might work effectively, Van Susteran said.

Beyond the shaming is the necessity for a space for people to be attuned and have empathy for other people's lived experiences and identities. People block the tracks during a demonstration as part of the System Change Camp in the harbor in Hamburg, Aug. 13, 2022.The criticism hurled at the A-listers is a result of the connection made linking the 1% and the climate crisis, Jennifer Jacquet, an associate professor of environmental studies at New York University, told ABC News.

Africa is cooling while Europe and Middle East are burning. In Eastern Europe summer average temp in the hottest part of the day use to be 25 many years ago now 30. Asia is mostly cool. Mexico is average while US is burning. Just check the temperatures. Has nothing to do with gas

Showing wildfires ? Unless kindling spontaneously combusts at 100 degrees ( it doesn’t ) heat has absolutely nothing to do with it. Smh

Climate changes do not occur in time frames man operates within, they are measured in glacial time. The current warming trend began some 17,000 years ago & some minute increase can be associated with man's activities, but the notion that we 'caused it' or can 'solve' it is dumb!

Individuals have the least amount of impact on climate change. This is the 'crying Indian' all over again. It's just propaganda.
