Deregulated capitalism and global heating
dimanche 15 mars 2015 à 13:00Naomi Klein: Deregulated capitalism (plutocracy) blocked correcting the global heating problem when it would have been easy. The bigger changes needed now are blocked also by the "let's be calm and not make any rapid changes" attitude. But we have to take strong measures by 2017 to avoid catastrophic heating (beyond 2 degrees).
I think it is urgently necessary to show the plutocrats that if they kill hundreds of millions of people with global heating, they won't be permitted to keep their own families out of the collective disaster.
Political parties hardly ever touch substantive political questions any more, because they take for granted that anything "bad for business" is out of the question.
The survival of civilization is bad for business, so which side are you on? Plutocracy, or democracy?
