excellent piece, but the "J'accuse" section is flawed—based on true/false we can take action to protect our children in future
thanks Mat. I don't think my reasoning is flawed though, because no _individual_ can fix things (for their kids) on their own.

each individual gets more social EV than pragmatic EV from their beliefs about climate change. (collective action problems, etc.)

there is plenty individuals can do eg: (1) vote for pols that will enact legislation (2) behavior change (eg go vegetarian)

but the pragmatic EV on those actions is 0. (Actually negative when you account for the costs.)
