I don't think that the problem is that people don't know how to act. We know how to act; force our governments to take action.
The thing is; not enough people are asking for that action, too many people still don't recognize the enormity of the situation and how dire it is.

When are Democrats or Republicans going to reign in USA 'defense' spending and the resulting pollution?
As soon as they are forced to do so by an overwhelming coalition of citizens. While more than half of the citizenry still has to be convinced that climate change is not some kind of hoax, there's no universal pressure to act.
Am with you on the strong dislike. I posted the article to see if anyone had critiques on the analysis it offers, actually.
Yeah, links to further actionable reading, with brief summaries for what and why, would be helpful, as fear is the mind-killer, the little death that brings total obliteration, per Frank Herbert.
Change happens and we’re not powerless to shape it, paraphrasing O.E. Butler from The Parable of the Sower.

I am involved in the climate movement, I know what to do, but imagine how hopeless an average reader might feel after seeing this headline. They might come to wrong conclusions such as "oh I better eat less fish!" No! Get your government to do something. Their carbon footprint is far greater then any one individual.
Feels like a moral wrong to throw this terryfying information on to a readers lap & provide them no ways to take action.
