> We're not going to get out of this by making more money. I absolutely think we are going to get out of this by making money. The incentives preventing action on climate change are not moral/ethical, but economic. Countries and individuals use fossil fuels because they are cheaper, and are unwilling to make decisions that put them in a worse position relative to others. While de-growth naively sounds appealing, the results are horrendous – countries with approx. the same GDP that they had 20 years ago are not places you would want to move to. You might also point to the ozone layer issue in the late 80s and argue an accord will fix our current problem, but fossil fuels are far more fundamental to our way of life than CFCs were.
