Climate change is an ecological disaster, but it is also a moral one. Excess carbon was put in the atmosphere by few industrialized nations, yet the consequences will be suffered by many around the globe. In order to achieve climate justice, the Global North will have to accept responsibility for the removal of the 43.1 billion tons of CO2 that produced its wealth. It is not easy to deal with the guilt of a debt this big, and we cannot wait for nations and corporations to address it. We can, however, start to collectively do our part, and find solace in removing one milligram of CO2 at a time.
