While climate change, also known as global warming, is a bad issue and directly affects everyone who lives on this planet, we should stop being bombarded that we should do things to prevent it.
Climate change can't be prevented. It's inevitable.
I'm not saying we shouldn't do anything, because we should. This is our planet and we need to take care of it. But, if the human population isn't collectively trying to help climate change then the goal is not being accomplished.
Companies and organizations need to be at the forefront of the fight against climate change. Policies trying to fight it are very modest, and in some places, there aren't any policies at all.
For example, in all of the world, only the EU has implemented national climate policies, and the policies are modest enough to raise questions about its effectiveness.
Apparently, if no action is taken by 2030, climate change could push more than 100 million people in developing countries below the poverty line. While 10 years may sound like a lot, if we're going to fight climate change, the actions necessary need to be strongly implemented now.
We would need to start investing now in early warning systems, climate-resistant infrastructure, mangrove protection, and better agriculture. But, much of our agriculture and mangroves are being converted into infrastructure.
The general population has no control over that. So, while climate change is our issue, the issue shouldn't be pushed on us. We're not the ones that have the power to put that fight in motion.
