Can we solve the climate crisis without confronting global inequities?
A recent study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA found that white residents in the USA produce more climate pollution than black or hispanic residents, but black and hispanic people are exposed to more air pollution.
And that is just the USA! Think about the global inequities in the "haves" and the "have nots".
And how are we going to lift people out of poverty without making the climate crisis even worse?
If you are a resident in a wealthy country, is it your responsibility to address both problems at once? And what would that look like in terms of national and international policy?

What can we do ourselves that can help our amount of carbon down?;
I think that we can watch ourselves and what we use that produce the most carbon and try to keep that at a minimum. Like if you live close by to your school, then you can walk instead of driving or riding the bus.
I agree with what your saying, if you can create less carbon emission then you should do that
