There is so much money in politics, it's not surprising when one of them rejects an overwhelming number of experts and sides with their donors or the short-term economic interests of their constituents.
Sure, short sighted, profit focused decisions create a long term detriment, but the system that encourages and rewards those types of decisions is also a big problem.
- gonzo41 8y agoThe point I make about climate change is we live day to day with politicians trying to maintain the status quo. Look at how free trade and globalization changed lives. I'm Australian and Australia doesn't build cars anymore. We do financial services and flip houses. When we live in a world where humans can't survive between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn because wet humidity will kill them. Then we're going to see a lot of migration and society is going to change in a big way. the term "eat the rich" springs to mind.
