> I do not think you can actually achieve much politically at this point in time, without angering and alienating a lot of the electorate. Maybe if the self righteous pragmatists like yourself had spent as much energy reminding the electorate that, if we don’t solve this problem then our standard of living will be forced even lower whether we like it or not as you do attacking the only people trying to do something about the problem we’d actually be able to make some headway. > I think democracy only works because it averages over all these very different groups to get a solution that satisfies nobody but is somehow pointing in the right direction. Then you can only come to the conclusion that democracy has failed. Climate change has been a known problem for 40 years now and all that democracy has achieved is complete impotence. It’s not pointing in the right direction at all, it’s stuck to the status quo of the careening towards the edge of the cliff.
