    The problem is that ordinary people can only do so much to prevent climate change, any real impact can only come from above, by goverment regulations and the ultra rich following those regulations and doing their part, unfortunately the filthy rich control the government and they would rather take 16 min flights in their private jets, the planet be damned

      The problem is deeper: I doubt any single government can stop the climate change, and any international agreements are doomed to fail because someone would say they are getting the short end of the stick with green stuff and nothing in return. Plus there would be no accountability for not meeting the targets.
