  • No need to be sorry, i’m here to discuss, thank you for the reply :)

    So you see the billionaire problem as billionaries using their power to prevent necessary action. Ok, i agree that this is part of the problem.

    But the “peope are selfish idiots” part is much larger.

    The propaganda works because it is what people want to hear. And they want to hear that [climate change does not exist/wont be that bad/wont be worse than not burning fossils/but china/can not be stopped anyway] because they then dont have to change their lifestyle. And, at least in my bubble, “but the billionaires” (burning a lot more fuel with their yachts and private jets) or “but then only the rich can affort it” is another of these excuses.



  • It baffels me how many here seem to think that climate change is a billionaire problem. Are you really serious about this? (genuine question)

    What makes you think that way? Its so obviously not true.

    Look around you. Imagine you can see CO2. Coming out of the cars around you, the airplanes overhead, trucks and cargo ships delivering your consumer goods, tractors and harvesters on the nearby fields. Are the cars Ferrairs? The planes private jets? The trucks and cargo ships transporting exquisite furniture? The farmers producing kobe beef?

    Must be comfortable in your world…
