is so wrong and dangerous, especially to younger people who might read your comment, that it should be censored.
It is well known indisputable fact that fossil fuel companies, along with certain characters in the political sphere, waged, and continue to wage, climate change denial war against us.

What you need to realise here is that evolution hasn't created a species of perfectly rational actors with equitable access to information to make purely rational decisions at all times.
We are not perfectly fit in an evolutionary sense, merely fit enough to have made it this far.
There are gaping flaws in our psychological that contribute to making us susceptible to all sorts ideas and actions that are diametrically opposed to our own self interest, and the collective interests of our communities at all scales.

Here in Australia, the political class, both major parties, but especially the political right, since at least as long as I've been paying attention, so 1996, 27 years, have actively been working to dismantle education, healthcare, public housing, and deny climate change, that it has become glaringly obvious certain individuals within state and federal politics have been working for the interests of industry and ideology over the interests of the people they've been elected to serve to a level that far exceeds lazy garden variety corruption and rises to the level of active hostility.
You have been deceived in to believing that your individual choices matter. They really don't. It doesn't matter if you, individually, change your behaviour to become a net positive effector on the environment. You don't matter one iota.
If fossil fuel companies, and their political champions, hadn't been actively hostile for the past few decades, we could have deployed a mixture of low / no carbon energy sources, and worked to change our cultural, economic, and societal structures, to avoid the very large scale climate catastrophe we're now enduring.
Frankly, come back when you've made at least some effort to make yourself aware of the history of, and continuance of, the psychological manipulation you yourself have been the subject of, as evidenced by that fact you'd write and espouse such an opinion.
