    Okay, now what can I do when I’m so sick that I have to rest for hours after walking the dogs for 30 minutes?

      Doing nothing would be a start since apparently, you are using that time to disparage the efforts of others.

      You don’t have to help, even though you have more than enough time from what you are saying. I know, it’s not your fault, bla blah, you’re a victim. You could just like not have a shitty attitude, that’s all.

          The main ones being pissed off is the oil industry and that’s who you are actually helping.

              They’re happy that folks like you are focusing on the people throwing cornstarch rather than the people causing higher acidity in rain that’s actually damaging Stonehenge.

                  And the oil industry is very happy that you keep your focus that narrow and you don’t like outside of what you’re presented by corporate media so we’ll done, Shemp.

                    I’m keeping my focus that narrow in this comment section for this article. You’re being ridiculous.

      There is much work to be done and not all of it is physical. I don’t know the specifics of your condition but you are here posting on social media. At minimum, there is likely a need for similar work to be done in support of your local orgs.

      Again, if you find some local folks doing such work, I am sure they would help you find your niche.

        So you’re saying don’t look like you’re vandalizing an ancient monument during a religious festival held by nature worshipers? I agree and that was my point.

          I am somewhat undecided about this action. It gets people talking (as we’re doing now) but it may also risk turning people away from the cause, especially those who are only casually interested or aware of the facts or issues.

          But my point was your suggestion that everyone is already aware of climate change is absurd. Especially the follow up that no one can do anything about it. Sure, they’ve heard of it, but everyone is continuing to behave as if it doesn’t exist. There needs to be much greater awareness, discussion, and then action on this topic, and until such time we will need to do disruptive things to get people’s attention. I do prefer to disrupt the people most responsible, personally.

              Well, something other than your usual ceaseless negativity would be refreshing.

              I don’t think I’ve ever seen you post something productive. It’s just constant negativity, pessimism, tearing other people or ideas down.

              I’ve never seen you react positively to a positive idea or add anything that would lead to any kind of actual improvement. And then when you ask “what can I possibly do” and someone replies with something you could actually do to contribute to the thing you’re complaining about, there’s no reply.

              I get that you have tough life circumstances, but you’re just not contributing anything to anyone with this stuff.

                    Then you must not have been very thorough, but you go ahead and believe what you like. The amusing thing is that you’re berating me for not being productive which doesn’t sound especially productive to me. Have you thought of being more productive?

                    (Also, what a corporate mindset! You must be productive even if you aren’t being paid!)
