Why we havent fixed the climate change problem yet?


Oljeindustrien bruker milliarder på lobbying, I Australia er regjeringen full av kullindustri-lobbyister som blokkerer alle klimatiltak og øser ut subsidier til kullindustrien, i USA er det mye det samme. I USA er attpåtil miljødepartementet styrt av en tidligere fossil brensel lobbyist. Her hjemme er regjeringen full av klimafornektere - vi hadde til og med nylig en oljeminister som var klimafornekter...likevel....skal en høre fra klimafornektere at "det har gått politikk i det".

JA FOR FAEN. Det har det.

La oss se på det 20ende århundre da. Hva har vi hatt siden år 1900?

HVILKET ALTERNATIV ER NÆRMEST SANNHETEN?

1. En grønn verden som består av fornybar energi over alt. Alle har solenergi på taket og en vindmølle i hagen. Alt er rent og pent og vi lever i en global diktaturstat styrt av FN og Al Gore. De rikeste menneskene i verden er gartnere og miljøaktivister.

2. Siden 1900 har verden blitt forgiftet med bly, asbest, DDT, kvikksølv, arsenikk,  teflon, nikoton, karbon  - C02 som og skyver Jorden ut av dens naturlige syklus gjennom økt drivhuseffekt.. Luftforurensing som dreper millioner hvert år etc. De rikeste folkene er å finne i fossil brensel.

Hva er nærmest det vi har hatt siden år 1900?

Hvis klimakrisen er politikk og en konspira..HVOR I HELVETE ER DENNE GRØNNE KONSPIRAEN?

SER DET IKKE MER UT SOM DET MOTSATTE?





I wonder why we havent fixed the climate change problem yet like we did the ozone and acid rain problems? Now,,,what could possible be standing in the way?

Because there is a very powerful industry who, like tobacco, uses billions of dollars attacking the science, protecting their money flow.

“Ive been listening to “dire predictions” all my life, is a common denier argument. Well, maybe, and do you know why?

Conservative groups may have spent up to $1bn a year on the effort to deny science and oppose action on climate change, according to the first extensive study into the anatomy of the anti-climate effort.

The anti-climate effort has been largely underwritten by conservative billionaires, often working through secretive funding networks. They have displaced corporations as the prime supporters of 91 think tanks, advocacy groups and industry associations which have worked to block action on climate change.

We are guided by an ideology so familiar and pervasive that we do not even recognise it as an ideology. It is called consumerism. It has been crafted with the help of skilful advertisers and marketers, by corporate celebrity culture, and by a media that casts us as the recipients of goods and services rather than the creators of political reality. It is locked in by transport, town planning and energy systems that make good choices all but impossible. It spreads like a stain through political systems, which have been systematically captured by lobbying and campaign finance, until political leaders cease to represent us, and work instead for the pollutocrats who fund them.

In such a system, individual choices are lost in the noise. Attempts to organise boycotts are notoriously difficult, and tend to work only when there is a narrow and immediate aim. The ideology of consumerism is highly effective at shifting blame: witness the current ranting in the billionaire press about the alleged hypocrisy of environmental activists. Everywhere I see rich westerners blaming planetary destruction on the birth rates of much poorer people, or on “the Chinese”. This individuation of responsibility, intrinsic to consumerism, blinds us to the real drivers of destruction.
