    Do you not believe that in a functioning democracy, such as some found in europe, you could simply vote to address climate change?

    I live in Germany. People here could easily vote to “eat the rich” and to reduce emissions. But they don’t, and they won’t. Voluntarily.

      In the usa we did vote for AL gore, who campaigned pretty much solely on stopping climate change.

      When it became clear gore would win, the Supreme Court stopped counting ballots and gave the win to Bush, an oil tycoon who went to war for oil. Later Kavanaugh, who worked the case for Bush, was given a lifetime appointment to the same court for their effective cronyism

      So yes, the global elite are the reason here.

          The global elite buy the USA politicians. They are for sale internationally

          In Bush’s case, the family is owned by the Saudis. And the Saudis couldn’t have the USA president going after oil.
