Comment: Some changes can be made by individual action, but with the number of people on the planet today large scale changes, such as decarbonizing the energy civilization relies on, require collective action. The abolitionists knew this. They wore cotton clothing produced with slave labor. But rather than go naked they helped free slaves and more importantly agitated to end slavery. That resulted in collective action. So it is with global warming. By all means weatherstrip your doors, but the scale of the change that is needed makes it imperative that our government act.
