As the impact of global warming becomes more obvious, you might expect countries to step up climate action and preparation, but we’re seeing the opposite happen
There is work to be done rebuilding infrastructure to battle climate change. It would be a massive jobs program, but we have reached an era where governments are not allowed to do public works in the public interest, amd since their is no profit to be made in doing the right thing, we must instead all suffer.
Cause we are facing global economic hardship, which is partially due to climate change.
This is the sad part, most people’s priority is their standard of living so when economic hardship happens, they double down on short term thinking.
This is why climate action needs to go hand in hand with economic reform so most people’s life gets better as we go towards solar punk.
In theory the rich who have horded all that wealth could benefit humanity if that wealth becomes our piggy bank to fix things.
