    This is why we won’t ever fix it. Even the things that exist get pilfered. I have a slight feeling the entire world has a corruption problem. I have an even worse feeling the only thing that will cure it is an uninhabitable environment worldwide.

      I bet a big reason they get pilfered is because no one has any confidence in the outcome being changed. The biggest contributors aren’t being forced to reduce emissions, we’re shooting past “acceptable” temps, and in that kind of environment, even people who joined with good intentions may decide to cash out and enjoy what they can, while they can.

      And once that process starts, it gets cyclical… corruption because goals aren’t being met anyway because of corruption…

      I think I see what you mean, I must admit I don’t really agree with this statement.

      I think we (meaning people) can actually fix this by applying pressure to governments to implement the necessary measures/taxes/etc to the polluting corporations all over the world. This pressure can have many forms - protest, boycott, etc. Also, it should be intersectional since climate justice without social justice doesn’t really mean anything - it’s just an empty vessel with greenwashing tendencies. At least the way I see things.
