Again - I don't disagree we need to change, but I think we need to be honest about the scale of the disruption involved. Think about the amount of debt in the world, and imagine that that was created with the foundation of an oil based economy, and then imagine what would happen if that foundation were removed. We are talking potentially catastrophic economic crisis, with all the problems that would bring.
The final thing I would say is that if those in control are sincere about tackling climate change, an open borders immigration policy is a very strange thing for them to be promoting. Instead of supporting people to live good lives where they are - in low carbon countries - we are encouraging them to move to high carbon countries, and effectively creating a reason to generate massive amounts of carbon through house building, infrastructure etc. This is one of the main reasons I am sceptical about the messages that come down from on high, and even more so given that the stock response to this issue is accusations of racism etc.
