We are ‘greening’ ourselves to extinction
Apocalypse investors are pushing fake climate solutions on us that are making climate change worse.

Any economic system even more socialist ones that are structured on catering to the wants and desires of the citizenship are going to put the environment second to those demands.
In a capitalist system the Consumer/Customer can easily do a bit of research and look for alternative sources of products that are actually better for the Planet, people could even invest in legit green companies and green products. The Customer can also make drastic Lifestyle changes in a effort to reduce their footprint. We have to take a huge part of the blame because our spending habits and gathering of readily available information to make wise decisions.
But in reality people Get over emotional over the idea of saving the world, Make a lot of noise about it, Place blame on others for being the problem, do some meaningless things.... protest, wear t-shirts, get rid of plastic straws, and then go back to drinking Starbucks 7 days a week, trolling their Cobalt laden Phones and claiming their EV and Planting of tree's will fix the Issues plus believing all the Green Virtue signaling from corporations is fixing the issue. I don't want to even delve into the insane idea's of the Climate warrior activists either who's drastic measures would meet resistance and cause chaos.
I saw just the other day the "experts" say the earth is warming faster than they thought. They talk about it in terms of how many degrees it warms per year I guess and now they say it could become a critical issue by 2035, not a hundred years from now.In and ideal capitalist system people could try to do those things. The problem is the multi-billion dollar companies do everything they can to obscure information that might be environmentally damning. The average person has no defense for that.
I don't think the concrete in NY is causing glaciers to melt at a faster rate than ever.I also read a study from independent Experts/Scientist who say that to much data is being drawn and taken from urban and suburban area's that has a large amount of people, industry, overlayment of concrete/asphalt, houses, buildings, etc. and that this data naturally artificially inflates the effects and speed of global warming. They stated that the models are flawed that the mainstream scientist use because the data inputted into the system is flawed, because they don't draw enough climate data from rural and minimally inhabited area's. They didn't say Climate change wasn't happening but that it was at a much much lower rate hat some are speculating.
But if they are wrong and 2035 is the date the toll must be paid we are past backing out now, Adapting is the only course of action possible. But I suspect this is akin to the Al Gore end of the world predictions from decades ago.....
You missed the point, they didn't say that climate change wasn't happening they said the models and their predictions was off by a lot. And if you don't think that urbanization including the reflection of heat from concrete,steel etc. and all the Energy it takes to Heat,Cool, provide lights etc. is a massive contributor to climate change then really what are you trying to say?I don't think the concrete in NY is causing glaciers to melt at a faster rate than ever.
