It seems like with ‘climate change’ a bunch of people who own tech companies or renewable resources are going to make a ton of money which they could potentially use to influence the government to change laws and regulations in ways that will control the way we live our lives…but wait a sec, isn’t that already what the fossil industry is doing right now? See, the fossil fuel industry controls the resources required for the entire energy system established all over the world, which makes them billions in profits each year that goto a handful of rich elite who use that money and power to influence elections, lobby and push through policy, support and fund wars that protect their interests while killing billions worldwide, and despite having known about climate change, its impacts and it being a result of their actions since the 60’s, they’ve gone ahead and funded massively subtle and manipulative disinformation campaigns to galvanize a whole bunch of people to doubt the science behind climate change in order to keep themselves in power. So if your fear of climate change is rooted in a fear of a different group of people making money and then potentially using that to influence government and take control over the one that currently exists, it sounds like your issue isn’t actually with ‘climate change’…but with capitalism. It’s capitalism that allows for that small group of wealthy people to control government policy and how you live your life while still making record profits as the rest of us struggle to exist in the world they’ve created, and you’re absolutely right - it is totally cussed. We need to dismantle the system of capitalism that allows for that to happen in the first place, but that also involves dismantling the system currently in power right now, which is ran by the fossil fuel industry, and is the most significant factor contributing to the anthropocentric climate change we’re currently experiencing.
