In The Netherlands we had the heaviest storm on record a few days ago. They said it’s a one in ten years storm. I suspect that the record will be broken in the next few years.
The only thing I do is trying to keep my energy usage as low as possible, but I know it doesn’t matter much. And I vote green, but that vote is wasted, as people care more about keeping refugees out and care less about the future their children and grandchildren will endure. But climate change only creates more refugees.
As long as Capitalism - with its need for endless growth - rules the world we don’t stand a chance. Our wealth and standard of living is based on buying stuff we don’t need with money we don’t have to impress people we don’t like. So we keep on wasting resources, generating needless carbon emissions and nothing will change.
Yes, we deploy more renewable energy to reduce carbon emissions but it will not be enough.
And platforms financed by Paul Graham will help spread misinformation about climate change so the populace will not want to change until it’s too late.
