I've been looking and listening to the media recently about the terrible increase in global tempratures.
The BBC love interiewing ordinary people spread out across the world about how they, as individuals, are 'coping' with temperatures raging at 40 celcius and above. Vox Pop at its worst. People, the ones they choose, haven't got a clue about what's happenng and what are facing going forward. The BBC appear to imagine that we can adapt and mitigate and tinker with our energy consumption, which means goods and services, and things are gonna be alright in the end.
Ordinary people are massively misinformed, by the BBC and I haven't heard a word about 'Capitalism' or fundamental, structural, changes to the 'marketplace.' It's all a dark, grotesque, farce.
For example, the media never present the attitude of the giant third world countries properly and honestly. In a nutshell, the West has used all the wood, coal, oil and gas they could get their grubby capitalist hands on, by any means necessary, for about three hundred years; and now, when the results are coming in, they expect the devloping countries to pick up the bill and actually reduce their use of fossil fuels and resources, when, in truth, it's us, who should be massively cutting our consumption and revering our levels of... growth, growth, growth!
This, isn't going to happen... voluntarily in the West. And, on top of that the much vaunted 'green trasition' is a massive lie. For example, Denmark, that boasts that it has reduced energy consumption whilst growing its economy, is lying. The energy consumption has just been moved abroad and the goods and services are now imported and consumed.
I've lost count of the number of young people I come into contact with, who have bought Teslas. Another huge lie that makes close to no economic or environmental sense at all.
Do something positive and easy. Make public transport... 'free' for a start and nationalize it completely. It's not a magic solution, but compared to the track we're on, it can at least be defended rationally.
