And our governments are beholden to the rich because they can offer the best bribes.
Until the rich feels threatened by the climate catastrophe, nothing will happen or change.
Although we are seeing the first economic fallout from climate change, so there’s a slim chance. The rich are going to see their precious economic growth slow and eventually stall. I don’t know how they’ll react to that.
Maybe they’ll all flee to New Zealand. Or some other remote location. I doubt SpaceX is going to offer any way out for anyone but the musky chodelet.
I guess the rich’s reaction depends on whether they think their hideaway will afford them the same privilege as they currently have. Maybe they’ll try to bootstrap an Elysium like refuge on the moon if it’s predicted that even New Zealand won’t be safe from climate induced collapse.
Nothing is safe and there is nowhere you can go.
Everything is connected in this web we call home.
The fire just ignited, its the beginning of the show.
No one will escape this tomb we’ve made home.
Neat poem but also just plain wrong.
The poor and the mistreated people will suffer the most so the wealthy and the privileged don’t have to.
Just like how the children who collect your ingredients for chocolate have never even tasted it, the modern and developed world will carry on with apathy and ignorance.
Even so called catastrophes will not affect them, as they will be uplifted and protected.
It’s already happening now if you just look around.
How can you be uplifted and protected from starvation when ecosystems completely collapse? There will be no cattle farming, no agriculture. If climate change is as disastrous as scientists warn if we don’t change there will be nothing to uphold them with. The masses will quickly consume their masters and then each other as we return to tribes. The most the rich can hope to do from their bunkers is scavenge for substance as the last is swallowed by the flies. They just don’t realize they’re building their own tombs.
Unfortunately, some people are insecure about themselves, so need to peacock and get big cars, etc so people notice them.
I feel like if maybe the public school system was better they wouldn’t feel like total losers
There should be studies being done to find out which form of eco-sabotage has the biggest impact on CO2 reduction. Something along the lines of this website.
I hate to be pessimistic but I feel more and more that we aren’t going to deal with climate in a meaningful way. I feel the governments of the world are taking a approach of benign neglect.
