I worry all other environmental concerns are getting sacrificed at the altar of climate. Clean air, water, soil, wilderness conservation.

- Timon3 2y agoI've rarely seen people interested in protecting the climate without caring about those points. Usually disinterest in one seems correlated with disinterest in the other (especially politically). Are you referring to specific initiatives or movements?
- jbu 2y agoOne of the authors (Johan Rockström) created the planetary boundaries framework (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_boundaries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_boundaries) which includes all of those. So they are being included by most. Certainly there are investors who might want to build, say, a wind farm on a coral reef because it's cheap. That's worth resisting?

- blooalien 2y agoYou're being downvoted, but you're 100% right. All the things you mention are important parts of a balanced "machine" / system that humanity has been increasingly throwing out of balance. The climate is just one aspect of that system, and won't really matter much if we don't do something about the underlying issue; That being, we're allowing a small handful of humanity decide for all of us that their religion ("Money is God; God will save us!") is more important than all life on Earth combined.
