fossile fuel industry is known to have been spreading misinformation
even after Covid - which spread exponentially
methane being released from melting earth in Siberia
methane being trapped at the poles (ocean floor?), can be released
bigger/more forest fires release already captured CO2 from the forests
even more warming happens, via earths reactions to the warming
for each degree of warming we humans influence
climate change is exponential
humans don't seem to understand exponential growth
even today, 40 years ongoing, the actions needed are not happening
the more money is involved in an industry, the more the goal is money
the less money a company earns, the more the goal is survival, i.e. money
short-term winnings strongly dominate long-term winnings
the "someone" that exploit more, has an advantage against the competition
and every means to do this, without major loss, will be exploited (by someone)
optimizing for capital
capitalism is a form of optimization algorithm
capitalistic tendencies
so they won't "risk it all" on "brave politics"
they have "careers"
i.e. an incentive to not solve stuff if industry don't like it
which is very powerful
in some countries they get major funding from the industry
after a politicians "career" - they often get top positions in industry
they have relations to the industry
which, in relation to exponential growth, means we are too late
which seems only will happen if disaster _is here_
so to really solve climate change - a majority of people need to vote extremely green
they need the major vote more than the minor one - i.e. populism
the incentives of politicians are broken
what are the problems with our systems that has made it so?
but there have been almost no action for many years
this has been known by scientists since the 80's
science: caused by human emissions
the climate is changing for the worse for humans and animals
