    The leverage is numbers. 8 billion humans against what, a stadium of people?

    The idea that 8 billion people would be on your side is the forefront of showing why what you’re suggesting is closer to fantasy than reality. More people than you care to admit are straight up fascist

      It is not a “my side” thing. I do believe that 8 billion humans have tackling climate change in their best interest, whether they know it or not.

        Of course they do. But what’s in their best interest doesn’t matter for leverage. For leverage, it matters how many truly believe that. And you’ll find that the amount of people who truly understand how bad it’s getting is vanishingly small. Even most liberals and hell, even leftists only care about it on a surface level. They’re not willing to lose the benefits they get from not caring about the environment.
