  • You’re talking nonsense. Yes, living people are currently causing climate change. Those most responsible have names and addresses.

    The world should have burned down to the groun… to nothingness 10 times over according to all the specialists/scientists.

    This is just embarrassingly ignorant. The climate is deteriorating faster than scientists predicted, not slower.

    Your answer to OP’s question is denial and a refusal to actually investigate the situation.











  • That can be fixed with restrictions on what corporations can get away with

    The problem is that capital can and does react to this. Companies will bribe and lobby until they can erode whatever meager guardrails you managed to install, and in the meantime they’ll carefully calculate how much they can break the law before the consequences outweigh the benefits.

    As long as capital is the main driver of politics this will keep happening. “Take money out of politics” doesn’t work, either, because capital will erode or evade those laws, too. You do have to look at moving on from capitalism if you want anything more than a small, temporary change.
