Due to the heatwave in the EU I’ve been experiencing a lot of climate change denial as well as a phenomenon that I can’t quite describe. It’s this pervassive idea that using a glass/paper straw or driving an electric vehicle somehow absolves you from doing more to care about the environment, but I honestly can’t fault people since it feels like that is all someone can do.

As an individual, what can I do to combat climate change or is the issue so systemic that I am powerless?

    Europe decides to block cheap Chinese solar panels, and has been doing so since the 2000s, because they have to “protect” local companies.

    Make it like Germany. Systematically destroy the local solar industry, be shocked after a while about cheap solar panels from China. But Chinese solar panels are not trustworthy, because China will remotely deactivate every component made in China (Maybe also your electric toothbrush idk), should the start reclaiming Taiwan lol
