I don't think most people are panicking - even Greta Thunberg is not panicking. But the status quo is like moving a massive boulder off the road to make progress, you have to push and shove really hard. And if some capitalists wish to profit from helping to remove the boulder, we need all the allies we can get. Redirect profit to gainful action, refuse to allow profiting from being a boulder. I see no dichotomy here. Unrestrained capitalism has been a huge part of the problem, directed capitalism may be part of the solution. And whilst JMG admits that climate change is real, he starts off acknowledging this science, it makes no logical sense to me that an intelligent man like JMG will accept this science, but when the same scientists are telling him this is dire and very, very urgent, he seems unable to accept this. So he's a 50% denier. And yes life will continue on the planet, it's been much hotter and colder in the past. But human life as we now know it? Coastal cities, hot dry areas, flood plains, mountain areas, water dependent regions.. All at serious risk of being in the future unfit for human habitation. So this observation really isn't that helpful for many hundreds of millions of people. Cheers.
