This is a silly and pointless conversation. The cost to the environment for 1500 jets once compared to the political improvements that could result is a drop in the bucket.
- KozmoNau7 8y agoWhen those "political improvements" inevitably end up being a further continuation of the unsustainable capitalism status quo, I would rather they not try to improve anything.
- diminoten 8y agoI guess you don't live near sea-level, then.
- KozmoNau7 8y agoI do in fact live in a city on the coast, the highest point in the entire urban area is ~35m above sea level. So I am extremely conscious of what the effects of climate change will mean for me, and for anyone living similarly close to the sea and at sea-level. Which is exactly why I don't think it matters what a bunch of stupendously wealthy capitalists can come up with. We need widespread systematic change, and it needs to come from the people, not the so-called elite. As has been shown before, the ideas and initiatives of the elite are very often explicitly harmful to the general population.
