Covid and the vaccine was a microcosm for societal behavior. A small percent of the population just won't give a fuck. The majority will do a thing based on self preservation. A small percent will do a thing for the collective interest.

The tough thing about climate change is there isn't an immediate and tangible threat. There's no virus in your face. It's a long slow erosion of the living planet. In that sense it's very difficult to convince people to act out of self preservation. There's no queuing for an inoculation and you're done. You saved the world too. Give yourself a pat on the back. The species as a whole has to modify its behavior with out immediate personal gain. That's a tough proposition.

Especially for us. The part of the world that exports its pollution from both ends. Manufacturing exists out of sight out of mind. Disposal exists out of sight out of mind. We're the global NIMBYs.

Long past time to do it. It's not even congress but the market share of the internet has been centralizing around the handful of FAANG or whatever acronym. Unfortunately too much of the tech nerd population have been seduced by the dark side. A reconstructed world wide web would be very hard to gain enough traction without enough nerds backing it.

What will policy change? Policy so nobody wants to live or do business there anymore?
