"This is from a misunderstanding of the problem by those in power (somewhat likely) or a knowing but ignoring of the problem (more likely because you know … money and power)."
It can't be proven, but I suspect the reasons for not addressing climate change and overshoot are far more sinister. The so-called elite have decided allowing or hastening the death of billions of people is the solution, and America just got the perfect point man to not just delay solutions, but speed up the environmental and economic issues that will kill people. I wrote about this in 2022, and sadly have seen nothing to change my mind. https://geoffreydeihl.substack.com/p/circumstantial-evidence
At this point I'm nihilistically desperate for some huge circuit breaker. I hate this post modern existence. And I see so many people young and old depressed and dissatisfied with "the way things are". I feel like I've been gaslit my entire life for questioning the business as usual approach, and being told to put my trust in government was a lie. We don't have much longer left, and all I have are these online spaces to bellow my despair and grief out into the universe.
It looks like these are a series of conspiracy theories, using a bit of science, but with the dial turned up on risk factors?... meanwhile back at the ranch.. life goes on and is flourishing with more CO2 and a slightly warmer planet that has happened 5 times in the last 10,000 years.
Nigel. That simply isn’t true. The last time CO2 levels were this high was 3 million years ago. Human civilization has been built in a Goldilocks climate niche that we have blown past. The flourishing won’t last long at this rate.
I said temperature not CO2 but CO2 is not that important other than it’s greening the planet and it’s more than 80% saturated and water Vapor and sun controls climate
Where are you getting those oil and gas company talking points? Global climate has been relatively stable until Industrial Revolution. Of course there are short term local temperature spikes, but that is called weather. Water vapor has increased since Industrial Revolution, but that increase is due to greenhouse gases. I hope you are well compensated for spreading misinformation.
The question is whether the U.S. or any major country will abandon the forever-growth mentality before it's entirely too late. This seems unlikely. However, our job is to press forward with "scale down" and "degrowth" messaging, come hell or high water.

Wow you need to move on.... Climate realism is here to stay.
We have plenty of scientific substance to support what we are saying.
And this notion that we are in the pay of bad actors gets old quick when you look at the facts.
I will give you some information and then you tell me what you disagree with..

Substack seriously needs a "laughing face" vote.
Silly boy

Then i will make sure North America DOES get it right. This I swear!
