We’re not going to fix climate change! As the effects of climate change worsen, the only question that will remain is one of how many people will have to suffer before something changes.

Big/Urgent Problem: Link: "The carbon cycle is vital to life on Earth. Nature tends to keep carbon levels balanced, meaning that the amount of carbon naturally released from reservoirs is equal to the amount that is naturally absorbed by reservoirs. Maintaining this carbon balance allows the planet to remain hospitable for life. Scientists believe that humans have upset this balance by burning fossil fuels, which has added more carbon to the atmosphere than usual and led to climate change and global warming."

What can we, humans, do to mitigate the effects of climate change and global warming due to the imbalanced carbon cycle on Earth? Godspeed!

Why are fossil fuels so hard to quit?

Important Question:

Why are fossil fuels so hard to quit?

Fossil fuel suppliers and the eight billion human consumers, more or less, are both responsible for the mess (global warming, climate change, global pollution, and the corresponding/resulting environmental and health disasters) we, humans, and the Earth are currently facing on a daily basis. The mess is becoming worse too...

Earth will survive. But at what cost?

Can the human customers cut their global demand, over 100 million barrels of
oil per day, etc., for fossil fuels? How? And at what cost or sacrifice? And for how long?

The general public must be educated about how debt, illiteracy, poverty, greed, and the great production and consumption of consumer products affect our general standard of living, our health, and our well-being and the health and well-being of Earth's biosphere (e.g. Earth's carbon cycle, etc.)

What are ways to motivate people to drive less?

We, humans, take Nature (air, water, soil, plants, other animals or lifeforms, Earth, etc.) for granted. And what's free we often treat poorly, too. Moreover, we are generally ungrateful, insensitive, uncaring, and ignorant when it is about the well-being our environment especially planet Earth.

FYI (Education is one of the best ways to motivate people to drive less):

“Globally, the transportation sector is one of the fastest-growing emissions sources and contributes 14 percent of all greenhouse gas pollution.”

“Vehicle emissions, fuel oils and natural gas to heat homes, by-products of manufacturing and power generation, particularly coal-fueled power plants, and fumes from chemical production are the primary sources of human-made air pollution.”

Let’s make a pledge not to drive our automobiles everyday.
