I think that's the only way we can stop it.

The other alternative is to completely rebuild our political/social system around something other than profit. Good luck with that, that's a fools errand.
- somewhereoutth 3y agoRoughly half (even in the US!) our current system is built around something other than profit - i.e. the government directed part of the economy.
- amrocha 3y agoWhen you put it like that it sounds really difficult, but what exactly would it mean to "completely rebuild"? IMO it could look something like this: - Governments around the world set up a Climate Change Council - The council is given power to regulate industry, and assign national resources - High impact industry is shut down or refactored. For example, coal should be banned, but oil companies should be nationalized and fazed out while alternatives are built That's pretty much it. It's hard, and it's a large effort over a long period of time, but there's nothing impossible about it. We don't have to reimagine society to do it.
