A good first step would to be acknowledge that we are all to blame instead of pointing fingers and demanding political leaders conjure up a magic solution.

Some are more to blame than others. Should I reduce my carbon footprint? Sure, but I don't feel like I'm on the same level as people in power who funded climate denial propaganda or actively opposed any legislation that would address the problem. I'm a cog and they're the big-ass gear.
