There's nothing you can really do except vote. What else can you do? Stand on a street corner with a sign?
Wtf are you complaining about, you're a Right-wing MAGAt. You're part of the problem
You know, i think reddit would be more your style holy shit.
Nothing you can say online that you wouldn't want read out loud in a court room
In regards to climate change? Heaps! Everything from buying recycled toilet paper to installing Solar, a Solar Battery, getting your house fully electrified, EV instead of petrol/oil.
There's never been more you can personally do to help slow climate change.
A single executive flight negates all of that. I ask, what good is all that when fuck tards just tear it all up anyways? I don't have infinite budget, and those are expensive.
You're right however there are some mitigating factors here, I don't know if you're in America but lets use that country as an example
So already last year you are eliminating the co2 of jet flights entirely and in 2022:
Just 4%!
Quite simply the number of houses that can have solar dwarfs the number of private flights taking place, literally every little bit helps.
No raindrop thinks it's part of a flood and look at how small aviation is in the big picture:
It's coal and gas power that are a far bigger contributor to the pain than private jets.
On top of that you're assuming that these private jet flights are the norm and will remain the norm forever despite the fact solar has massively disrupted the global energy supply in just 10 short years and battery prices continue to come down substantially
There are thousands of companies working towards co2 free flights

But even today there is work being done on sustainable fuels:

Finally we know that there are substantial drops in the price and increase in size of solar batteries coming through over the next few years, and if the price drops to a point where they pay themselves off over a few years, why wouldn't you? This is not just about the planet anymore, it's just good economic sense
My last electricity bill (AUD):
Decrease from an average of $200
How much my car/EV costs to run per month charging from solar:
$5 (AUD) decrease from an average of $100 worth of petrol every month
Saving money and the planet? Can't complain about that surely :P
Talk to people, organize with your community, start movements, take over political parties.
Carry pepper spray. Arm yourself.
Against people like Kaboom. Dudes a facist.
Is that a threat?
Only if you have reason to take it as one.
