There are several reasons that climate change is proving to be such a difficult challenge for our civilization to overcome.
One of them is nationalism/tribalism. There are 200+ sovereign nations of this small blue planet, whose citizens feel very little affinity for those in other countries. This means limited cooperation among nations that desperately need to come together to develop and share relevant technology.
Another is the influence of Big Oil with its rapacious greed and corruptive influence over our lawmaking processes. All this is made worse by the fact that they have allies among some of the most ignorant people on Earth. We Americans live with tens of millions of hateful morons, like the truck owner here.
When I was young, I heard someone say, “The first execution this country televises will be the last one ever performed here.”
I think he was right at that time. You’d have millions of people watch that barbarism and realize that it was done in their name.
But today, we’re a far more insensitive, brutal, and stupid people that we were 50 years ago. If you doubt that, just look at the quality of the people at the top of the federal government–people like RFK, Jr., Hegseth, and Trump.
As suggested at left, the world will never forget that the launch pad for all the destruction during Trump’s second term was our nation’s failure to prosecute the criminal sociopath for his attempted overthrow of the U.S. federal government on January 6, 2021.
Had these acts of treason been dealt with swiftly, all of this would have been avoided.
The answer will probably surprise you.
