I have very little faith in politicians either. And I agree with much of what you're saying.
However, I do think social pressure/expectations makes some headway. Some ports have made the decision to ban cruise ships. Though that is partly becuase of the air pollution they cause. Even billionaires like to be popular - and that may mean some will start to change their behaviour (though not all).
My main charity is Client Earth. They take legal action against large polluters, etc. It's the best fight back I can manage.
If you want a really simple, low cost action, then change your bank. Unless you already have. Nationwide is probably the best in the UK. They're a building society, so never invest in fossil fuels. Co-op bank probably come second, but all the really big UK banks have massive fossil fuel investments.
I have to have hope. I have to believe that Oswin (my granddaughter) has a future.
And the good news is that renewable energy is really gaining traction now. It's cheaper than fossil fuels, so even the greedy want it.
