6. What do you mean by "tangible"?

Do you mean enough to notice?

Perhaps the most challenging aspect of the climate crisis is that so much of it is not noticeable -- until it is catastrophic. All the cars running on highways for decades did not make a noticeable difference in the climate, until they did. And good you can do as one person will not be perceptible, but done collectively it is the solution. How is that virtue signaling? If we all work together to stop dumping CO2 just the way we all have been dumping CO2, the difference will be real.

Of course there is enough energy to sustain a change, because without such a change we're doomed. This is becoming more and more clear, not just in the US but around the world.
