I empathize with this and your earlier obviously inflammatory remarks, but we either pay for adaptation/mitigation now or pay billions if not trillions later for infrastructure repairs, more human lives lost, further extinctions of animal biodiversity, and reduced economic productivity from the loss of arable land.

Taxing large emitters does still past the cost down to the consumer. Someone certainly has to pay eventually. Perhaps youre too cynical to believe humans now are willing to do so. I don’t think youre right, but it’s certainly an opinion those less optimistic share :) and there is plenty of current evidence to bring hopes down.

Alas I’d like to die knowing I tried and cared instead of contributing to the apathy of the situation.

Every(?) western nation is going through a cost of living crisis.

And some people believe increasing the cost of energy is a solution to anything.

There's one obvious solution to everyone's cost of living crisis: tax the wealthy fairly.

We'll send modern civilization off a cliff before we do it, but it isn't like we don't know the solution.
