In the mid-2000's everyone was saying how we could curb climate change if we all just did our part to cut our emissions. Now even if everyone came together and brought their emissions down to 0, the few major pollutant companies alone put out as much as the global pollution output was back then.

It was never going to be as simple as coming together to reduce our own individual minuscule emissions, even if doing so is still beneficial; it was always going to be forcing the real polluters to stop or die trying, either by their hands, or by the hands of the climate they destroyed.
