    Your kind of naive and emotionalized thinking will get you nowhere. Nowhere!

    Sacrifice of prosperity for the good of mankind, as you’re suggesting it, has never worked. A society is only content when they can feel a constant upwind in their quality of life. See China for example: people are comparatively happy there despite the authoritarian government because they can feel growth and growing prosperity in their everyday lives like they have never felt before. If you don’t have that, you get social unrest, radicalization and eventually wars. You’re seing the infancy of that already in Europe and the US.

    There is a very easy way to fix the climate: make it profitable. Guide the economy in a direction such that eventually they don’t need subsidies for climate-friendly production. This is the only way. But for it to work, you need to have a plan! This is very important. A plan to make climate protection profitable. Else, it will NEVER work.

        You’re not even listening. Probably haven’t even read my comments. I never suggested that everything is fine.

        I’m just pointing out your constraint world view. If you don’t change it, your frustration will just end up in more frustration. Emotional and irrational people are being stomped on or ignored at best. You won’t accomplish anything.

        The first step towards change is accepting the current situation and using it for your best advantage.
