Bravo. Given the unprecedented nature of the climate crisis and related issues, it seems that as individuals we have three choices:

1. Refuse to think about climate/planetary overshoot at all. (Cognitive dissonance, the populist option.)

2. Shrug, give up and carry on with our usual gas-guzzling lifestyle. (Defeatism & complicity in slow-motion genocide.)

3. Cut personal GHG footprint anyway and get politically active - in the hope that others may care enough to join in and make real change; while being fully aware that we may very well fail; but it's the right thing to do anyway.
