The biggest single factor in climate change is the generation of greenhouse
gases.
Far more greenhouse gases are produced by animal agriculture than any
other source (87% by animal ag as compared to 13% by all other sources,
cars, planes, electric plants, etc.: combined)
The most important thing you can do as an individual to address climate
change is to stop buying the products of animal agriculture, such as
meat, dairy products, leather goods, and furs.
If enough people do this, we will survive, if not, your grandchildren
will be forced to determine whether to eat their babies to survive a few
more weeks when crops fail globally.
Your choice: indulge your blind instinctive desires and rationalize them
with self-centered mindless opinions, or leave future generations an
earth worth living on.
Or you can just go on fruitlessly bitching about the injustice of things
like Bezo's money and ignore the situation until it is beyond too late.
My personal bet is that the vast majority of you, even if convinced of
the reality of the global climate situation will go on with your
rapacious lifestyles unabated.
Even so, those are the facts. Now -- are you a rational moral being, or a
mad machine that really has no control over yourself?
