Climate change means

we have to have the courage to put oil, gas, and coal into stewardship

Climate change has become a binge-watching drama series with a new set of episodes released each year around the COP meeting. Critics each year demand plot twists to reinvigorate the audience.
Instead, we are fed again and again the same drama over the merits and failures of each character, drawing us into endless debates: net-zero vs absolute-zero in one episode, justice vs funding in another. Inevitably, money takes the main stage and dominates the drama.
Meanwhile, outside of the studio, real-life climate events are becoming more extreme and frequent, and the stampede of net-zero efforts are blindly creating shortages and making life more difficult everyone.
We cannot leave it to governments and businesses.

Even if you and I use less oil, gas, and coal, what we save is simply taken up by others.
We need to change this.
