Wow. Shocker. Capitalism isn’t so easily reformable toward sustainability. I don’t understand why more democrats, like the ones who have been up until now relying on the sentiment of large financial institutions and corporations to finish the job of addressing climate change, don’t get their head in the game and realize how eco-unfriendly so much of capitalism is, and, depending on one’s definition of capitalism, how eco-unfriendly all of capitalism may be. I think some of them have developed a greater love for their white picket fence-esque life as marketed to them in real time than for understanding the impact of scientific information about climate change on the life of the planet including their own per an authentic scientific understanding - because the latter starts to look more socialist by almost every definition of socialism.
That’s the part that keeps getting missed. This all reminds of the yoyoing back and forth about whether coffee is healthy for you or not. Another damned science article on the issue. Great. Just what I needed. But the AMOC situation they always say is contingent upon action or inaction on global warming and what exactly am I supposed to think is happening to the systems? Hmm? Seems like everything is collapsing. So maybe I just might as well be fully prepared for the AMOC to straight up collapse. This groundhog day crap is getting really old. Same reason I always take a tote bag to the grocery store even if it’s not always legally required in this county - sometimes they’re out of bags, sometimes it’s legally required; might as well be equipped with a bag.
