There is no basic agreement as to what causes climate change; bear with me... - Climate scientists think it’s CO2e emissions - Environmentalists think it’s deforestation - Conservation biologists think it’s over population - Neoclassical economists think its failure to internalise externalities into the price signal - Marxist economists think it’s the pathology of capitalism - Sociologists thinks it’s because people are poor/because people are rich depending on their mood - Development economists think it’s because societies are not rich enough to invest in environment as a luxury good - Bankers think it’s because environmental management does not produce investment opportunities - Policy makers think it’s bad policy - Game theorists think it’s prisoner’s dilemma - Evolutionary psychologists think it’s our evolutionary mindset - Technology dystopians think it’s bad technology - Technological utopians tell us not to worry - The Daily Mail thinks it’s immigrants - Donald Trump thinks it’s fake news - And Jordan Peterson thinks it’s cultural Marxism In a sense they’re all right within a certain context (except the climate scientists who have the easiest diagnosis and Peterson who is definitely not right on climate change). But increasingly climate change is one of those issues that we throw our welt anschaung and tunnel vision at. To paraphrase: “we don’t see climate change as it is, we see it as we are”.
