>>14321781All chest-beating aside, it's okay you just started to grasp the basic scales involved in climate change. Many liberals who just happened to be right and don't really have a quantitative basis for their beliefs are no better than you.
You or me obviously have very little impact on how this thing evolves, it's just a thing you can learn as a hobby. It's actually quite fun to research, you should try to actually dive really deep into it with an open mind.
Like, one thing I've been looking more closely into lately is how reforestation and stuff are just not that important one-time gains. Sure, plants turn co2 into carbohydrate structures, but they eventually reach an equilibrium and very little actually stays underground as years go by. Even if we restore all rainforests and turn all deserts into rush forests, the actual continuous carbon sink after they all matured is miniscule and co2 will keep accumulating as long as we use any significant amount of fossil fuel.
