not really much normal people can do. voted green on the basis of them pushing work from home (30% carbon reduction) but once in office they dropped that idea, implemented "turbo migration" and forced homeowners (mainly famillies who took loans) to take out more loans to install solar while reducing paid parental leave. basically worst backstab me and my family have ever seen.
even if france as a whole turned 0 emissions, that wouldnt change anything if everyone else is doing business as usual.
The heck does this mean?
Get the fuck out of here with that "turbo migration" bullshit you reactionary fuck.
now contrast this with what China is doing and it becomes clear that different outcomes are possible
Last time i checked china was mostly reliant on coal ? They shifted the energy production to something else ? Genuine question, if they took impactfull measures i'd be hapy to hear about it
China bootstrapped using fossil fuels because that was the only technology available, but they've been transitioning away from using fossil fuels at a mind boggling rate. China still uses fossil fuels, but I think it's fair to call it an electrostate at this point.
