TBH this is the answer. If govs are willing to sell themselves and all legislature to the highest bidder, then it's time for mass protests, strikes, and molotovs.
that could have changed the trajectory 50 years ago
if people had been scientifically literate and recognized the problem
it's too late now
this will happen when the pain of reality (regular temperatures in the 100s) overcomes the stupidity of religion, but there won't be any going back
Gov isn’t seeking itself to highest bidder though, at least not in the west. We have MASSIVELY reduced our carbon emissions and it’s gets better every year. We can decarbonise. We are decarbonising.
The problem is partly that the west has emitted an epic fuckton already.
And the problem is that Asia (and to some degree the Middle East, but mostly Asia) is going Hold My Beer™️ on our emissions and rapidly emitting as much as, or more than, the average westerner is doing.
See for yourself.
