no. Everyone could clean up every bit of trash, we could all move into mud huts and start pissing spring water, thats not going to change the angle of the planet or the heat building up as third world nations keep ****ing like its their job, producing humans in the millions daily, that all need the same support systems that generate teh same heat and pollution we hav enow

How old are you? We've got maybe ten years at most before the next great extinction event starts cascading.

Rainforests are no longer the carbon sinks they used to be, and with millions of acres cut down every year on top of the millions of acres lost to forest fires, we are decades past the point of no return. If we converted everything to "clean energy" tomorrow, it would take millennia to suck all the COČ we've already put into the atmosphere over the last hundred years.

people act like trees are being cut down, never to be replaced, mean while individuals and entire nations are planting trees by the millions regularly. The sky isn't falling chicken little. No matter what the guy selling you carbon credits tells you.
But be sure to get your 02 scrubber for your home before you leave
