A new report suggests that some governments have ignored legal obligations to prevent climate harm for decades.
Put in the words of that guy about hospitals closing “I don’t believe it”.
Of course they did. This is one of issues with our models of democracy, that may be quite difficult to solve.
Politicians and their parties have 4 or 5 years to introduce new and alter existing legislation, sign contracts with companies and agreements with other countries. If they don’t do anything for ‘now’, and focus on the future - people won’t vote for them anymore.
When one party promises improvements in 6 months, people will always choose it over a party that promises a stable and healthy environment in 50 years. Of course, the first one lies. But those lies work and get votes. So what do you do?
Moneh-moneh-moneh-money! Moooneyy!
Eh, yes?
We’ve known about global warming since the 1890’s when first scientific reports about it were published
This isn’t a new thing, its just been swiped under the rug for decades because profits for a few people.
And before the capitalism bad crowd chimes in, every country ignored it unless you’re willing to claim that the USSR was all about environmental protection (it was most definitely not)
Just like they know them today but don’t care because profits matter much more.
