If you increase your personal petrol or gas consumption for this year by says 1'000 liters because you use the car more often, will this lead to natural disasters? And if yes, where? Nobody will be able to take you to the court, because it is not possible to prove a direct relation between your increased yearly consumption of fuels and a drought in Africa. This does not change the fact, however, that the CO2 emission produced by your car does indeed contribute to the global warming. No doubt, you and I are responsible for the climate change, too. The following testimonies are typical: Me alone, I cannot change anything, why should I then change my personal behavior? I respect the laws, I don't do anything illegal. I am not against your saving energy, but leave me in peace with your ideas. My energy requirement is modest. I won't change before the big polluters have changed their behavior. These declarations share a fundamentally wrong assumption that we are not fully responsible for what we do. But the contrary is true: We are indeed fully responsible for everything we do or do not do! The fact that we don't get fined or taken into prison for certain deeds does by far not mean that these deeds do not have a big impact on our personal future life.
