Plant gardens. Eat more local produce/food. Drive less, walk and bike more. Not have big screens in every room. Build more reasonable size homes. Encourage others to do so. That's what i can do.

I support most of this. But the big screens part. I love my big screen and it's only a drain when it's on
Seriously, cannot stress how important getting as local as possible is. Aside from helping out local farmers and farms which is massive, you also are getting better quality and it's not traversing from California on a refrigerated Semi.
I have a pipedream t osome day have a greenhouse and grow everything for myself. Deal with a local farm/butcher for meat, and just go with that. Only thing I'd need to bring in would be grains and spices.

This is all good. I'm in my 2nd yr of maintaining a big garden and love it. Eating homegrown veggies almost every meal.

Go low carb and you won't need grains. You'll get plenty of carbs from vegs.
I can do without bread and pasta but I not tortillas, flour or corn.

Of all the major conservative parties in the democratic world, the Republican Party stands alone in its denial of the legitimacy of climate science. Indeed, the Republican Party stands alone in its conviction that no national or international response to climate change is needed. To the extent that the party is divided on the issue, the gap separates candidates who openly dismiss climate science as a hoax, and those who, shying away from the political risks of blatant ignorance, instead couch their stance in the alleged impossibility of international action.

The “moderate” candidates are still, by international standards, rabid extremists. It is the nature of long-standing arrangements to dull our sense of the peculiar, to make the bizarre seem ordinary. From a global standpoint, the entire Republican Party has lost its collective mind.

Fixing climate change is like sharing a room with someone which is infested with bugs. You can keep your side of the room super clean and spray raid everyday but if your roommate lives messy and leaves food and trash around, no matter how clean you are, the roaches won't leave. That's climate change. No matter what you do and how much money you spend over here in North America, Asia won't play along so it'll be a waste. You realistically can't fix climate change unless everyone plays along, which they won't

Of course we can all do our parts and through doing our part, in theory, will make us aware of the macro
No one has a dollar sign - because the stakes are not quantifiable.

Last week, China announced plans for a nationwide system that would put a price on emissions of greenhouse gases. Brazil became the latest major country to pledge action, on Sunday, with a plan that makes it the first large developing nation to offer an absolute cut in emissions over the next decade, instead of just restraints on continued growth. Brazil also committed to ending illegal deforestation and to restoring millions of acres of degraded forest.

Isn't America supposed to be the leader in this world? This type of attitude is the ****tiest one someone could possibly have. It's the "why change, he won't change"

Hey don't discourage him, this might be the best post I've ever read from him. Anyway, if someone(s) would actually come up with a REAL, AFFORDABLE alternative energy source that burns clean, or at least much cleaner than what we use now it would solve so many of our problems as a nation, IMO.
Nukular Energy fits that bill.
Yeah the realist attitude is the worst someone could possibly have. Tell me how you can make China, Brazil, India, and Russia follow suit on climate change? you can't.

Possibly, but do we have enough Homer Simpson types, who aren't already in Congress, to man the control panels in all those plants?

You really think you have the realist attitude? LMMFAO.
Per Capita, India and China are way way behind us and Russia is healthily behind us.
The realist would show the world how to cut down carbon emissions and show Russia, China, and India that you can be amazing and have less CO2.

The US should take the lead on fisheries and other countries will follow. Oh wait the US has taken the lead on this and other countries haven't followed. Either way we should use this same strategy on global warming because some random hipster on the internet says we should.
youre still assuming that China would give a **** and want to this stuff. They wouldn't.
