After reading dozens of climate reports, I'm convinced that individual carbon footprints are a distraction from the real problem. Big oil companies have spent decades pushing the idea that it's your plastic straw and hamburger that matter, not their drilling. I've switched to plant-based meals and cycling to work, yet my emissions barely budge compared to what a single corporation emits in a day. Maybe we should stop guilt-tripping ourselves and focus on systemic change instead?
