It's extremely frustrating to watch our world deteriorating because politicians aren't willing to actually do their jobs and govern.

I'd go even stronger and, for the US, pass regulations that all emissions of all kinds must be captured or the company will be fined double the cost of environmental remediation as executed by contractors employed by the government (scaling from 1% of the fine to 100% of the fine over X years).

You say that as though politicians appear out of thin air. The root problem is that the average person isn't motivated to do anything, including voting in politicians who will do something.

That and misinformation isn't helping.

Average American, perhaps, with our "rugged individualism" and apparent lack of empathy.
