In business if you want to make big improvements you tackle the big problems that will deliver the best results first. Doing this delivers you the “best bang for your buck.”
If climate change is the greatest threat to mankind as some claim it is, why aren’t all the resources & the billions and billions of dollars raised not directed toward fixing the big polluters first? Using global funds given to organisations like the UN to facilitate a rapid migration to sustainable and renewable solutions. In doing so achieving a significant reduction in global CO2 output. Example the global community assisting China to make a rapid shift to renewable and sustainable power. If we just funded the top five using global funds to finance their transition, the positive impact would be significant. If mankind is on the brink that would make a lot more sense than the piecemeal approach that we have now. That is unless the real agenda is more about making money, moving to a new world model and controlling, rather than enabling which many suspect with some justification it appears to be.
Why aren’t those countries and climate activist who are bullying us and demanding we just stop coal mining and close our coal fired power generation (wrecking our economy and leading to massive instability) advocating for a different approach? They would achieve a much better result than the minuscule (in a global sense) reduction we’d achieve. That’s not to say we shouldn’t be transitioning to sustainable and renewable solutions to achieve a cleaner environment, we should. There are many benefits for us in doing that, improvements in health being one of them.
It would be fair to say however that if many of the global activist and global organisations feeding off the climate alarmist industry addressed the real issues, they’d make themselves redundant. No more gravy train, no more power, no further usefulness and that’s why they won’t do it.
I believe in cleaning up the environment. That’s nothing knew I’ve always believed that well before it became a ‘fashionable’ cause. However, we need to be sensible about it and not throw ourselves over the blasted cliff doing it. Nor should we be bullied into throwing ourselves off a cliff by those with vested interests.
Remember this:
“Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsiblity to bring that about?” -~ Maurice Strong, founder of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP)
“We’ve got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy.“ ~ Timothy Wirth, President of the UN Foundation
