    Yeah that’s what sucks right now. It does kinda feel like your responding to something I didn’t say though :-/

      I made another longer reply to someone who said something similar.

      You’re absolutely right. It wasn’t entirely your fault. However, i do still feel that the class issues of climate control get ignored in these conversations, and it’s easy for people to look at a line of cars like this and blame the individual when, I promise you, many of those people don’t want to be there at all, but this might be their one thing a day, or even week, that makes getting out of bed worth it.

      Climate change is a class issue, and it is a social issue. The people it affects the most (in a given population) should always be remembered in our discussions.

      Note: Obviously my own comments come from a place of great privilege. Even more importantly we should remember how oir economies and laws are currently at the expense of the global south, and that they are likely going to be the first ones lost as the effects of our corporate and societal greed are felt even more strongly.
