Yes, because the world is extremely complex. The sadder thing, is that even if we solved climate change tomorrow, we'd still have a few other ways for our planet to end, including destruction of soil habitat, loss of biodiversity, and literally dozens of pollutants like BPA and glyphosate, dyes for clothes, microplastics, heavy metals (including from tractor tires&exhaust right onto the fields we grow our food in)... And we have an outdated representative democracy that doesn't utilize our country's education or expertise. Frustrating. It's not the time of horses any more, we can fucking use technology now ya'll. We should be able to vote and discuss policy en masse from our homes/cell phones. We don't need representatives if we are literally our own representative in a true democracy.
