This problem certainly tops in the media, but I think this always conveniently omits what are the root causes of climate change: the fact that we have broken economic systems that preach unlimited growth and are effectively wealth inequality creating pyramid schemes.
I guess in a couple of years the dominating news will be collapsing ecosystems and wars, if we don't address root causes.
PS. Sorry, I do not have a list of companies for you.
- throw_this_one 8y agoThis is exactly on point. The whole thing is that to "win" the game, countries need to grow and keep growing. If we found a way to change the paradigm and incentivize sustainability instead, then it would better. Imagine like a blockchain contract between countries where the "spoils" of economic activity were split between them with regard to how efficient and sustainable their economies were. GDP -> GDS - Gross Domestic Sustainability
- a_smedegaard 8y agoTrue. But I see no way to influence that with tech. That's a HUGE political task.
