Economic damage from climate change six times worse than thought – report
It's always about money isn't it?
Only way to make people change their ways, if it hurts the bottom line then action is usually taken.
This is why government regulation should be harsher, and fines should be proportional to company income.
If the fine is too low it just becomes the cost of doing business.
Most people will stop doing something if you show them how it hurts others. Not so the wealthy and powerful.
Being rich actually causes neurological changes, reducing your capacity for empathy and making your brain look more like someone born with psychopathy. 'Power Corrupts' is a biological fact. To be powerful is to be more capable of evil.
Which is weird, because doing nothing is only going to cost more and more as time goes on.
Well yeah, but have you thought about how doing something might impact profits this quarter? Unacceptable!
It might cost more overall but it will be different people paying that cost (taxpayers and poor, mostly) whereas if we took action now it would be the capitalists paying for it.
It all makes perfect sense Expressed in dollars and cents Pounds shillings and pence Can't you see It all makes perfect sense
