Can We Rely On Governments To Respond To Climate Change?

 


We are told that the climate crisis is worsening but can we trust the science and can we trust governments? Are we in a normal climatic cycle or is this the result of carbon emissions? Addressing the climate issue is very complex and difficult with most of the efforts being market based, for example the emissions trading systems and direct carbon taxes. Here is the problem, governments are trying to make the public bear the costs of climate change mitigation.

 Big Tech and Corporations will not simply pay for the Green New Deal, they will want to profit from the Great Reset. Are they going to buy up as many natural assets as possible and charge us to use them? Then there is the "time" factor, will we be in real danger in ten years or a thousand years?

 The more one drills down into the issues facing climate change mitigation the more you realise that the interests of humanity have been usurped by politics and money, in effect greed. 

 The solution is for greater participation by the public, to ensure transparency in decision making that benefits the many not the few. Will this happen - we'll see!
