    The problem is people are only going to change their behaviour once the consequences hit them, and with global warming, the consequences won’t really hit them until a long time later.

    The second problem is the consequences are dramatic. And very hard if not impossible to turn around.

    To really get people and companies to change their behaviour, we would need an immediate consequence to behaviour that is bad for the environment.

    Bottom line is, some people try, some people don’t give a shit, and in the end we will have to deal with it.

    I hope governments are watching carefully, we will need to keep a lot of water away from us in the future, and we’ll have to deal with the changing climate too.

      Governments will fail. Wherever unpopular “Green” Measures are implemented, the right-wing cockroaches appear, destroying any discourse.

      The consequence will be a global war by stupid populists who think that is one solution (which it kind of is,… Dead people won’t emit CO2)
