The corals of the world are telling us something that most government and politicians – whether through corruption, fear or impenetrable ignorance – are unwilling to divulge: our planet is now heating at catastrophic rates.
I think the issue here is the religiosity that capitalism holds in the minds of these politicians. The existential threat of turning off the oil spigot would absolutely destroy every economy in the world and the billions of lives that depend on it. The idea of blowing up the gravy train that politicians and their donors/ oligarchs have built for themselves is a non-negotiable. The irony is that not turning the oil spigot off will bring an even worse future which is the part that many who refuse to see the science can wrap their minds around which obviously creates this denialism.
