    Agree to a degree. Solutions are needed at all levels. There's no question that we need high-level systemic change (I personally also don't think capitalism can possibly prevent, much less reverse, climate change). And we also need people on the ground watching out for each other. There are people already suffering from climate change no matter where you are -- for example, the homeless, ppl with outdoor/poor working conditions, the elderly are all at-risk during extremely hot days and heat waves. Someone needs to help the old person who lives alone get a window AC installed in their apartment to protect them during heat waves.

    Just like we can't put the blame for solving climate change solely on individuals (it'll take way more than everyone driving less and reducing meat intake), we also can't deny the things we as individuals can do today, especially for climate change adaptation.
