Which should it be?
Wealthier countries continue to massively subsidize carbon production while telling less-developed countries to adopt green standards.
Wealthier countries are responsible for consuming (and usually throwing away) roughly 70% of food-related carbon emissions, most of which are produced in less-developed countries.
Countries like Canada and the US have just imposed massive tariffs on Chinese electrovoltaic (EV) cars, keeping the cost of ‘going green’ and reducing our carbon footprint without paying inflated costs. Furthermore, the various levels of government (especially the Ford government in Ontario) continue to support massive highway and road initiatives while ignoring public transit or at least making it work.
Our governments and corporations are failing us in absolutely absurd ways and it’s time we all understand that climate change is VERY real and change is VERY urgent.
I originally planned on posting these thoughts to LinkedIn, but users say it’s important to keep politics out of LinkedIn.
Of course, without a planet, there is no business and a vote for people that don’t support change represents a vote for failure.
Last year, I wrote Extinction Event because I was witnessing multiple environmental AND social AND economic systems in various stages of collapse.
We can still do something, but we need our elected representatives to lead by example.
