Ōnuku Rūnanga has got it right. With ecocidal governments all over the world, the only way we are going to change things is from the bottom up. Once you get involved in actively working to mitigate or in some way delay the climate crisis, you learn its reality. Once you know something, you can't 'unknow' it and this will mean people getting more vocal about political decisons that are being made 'on our behalf', and thinking more carefully before supporting politicians, whose empty promises of tax cuts and more jobs, are in contradiction of the reality of having to aim for a world that produces (net) zero carbon. Our 'Leaders' don't lead, they follow the trends, far more interested in being voted back in, then doing something that radically improves our prospects, but risks being unpopular.
