We were talking about It's better to say you don't understand something than to randomly throw your favorite clichés as if in profound insight , weren't we?

Quote:
With just twelve years to curb emissions — per the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s latest report — we can’t afford for other policymakers to make the same kind of blunders Macron has, looking to bolster his credentials as an environmental hero (allegedly “Making The Planet Great Again”) while making life harder for ordinary people. The causes of climate change, after all, aren’t French commuters but the one hundred fossil-fuel producers responsible for 71 percent of greenhouse gas emissions since 1988.

As such, there’s no good reason for decarbonization and economic hardship to go together; the only punishments doled out by climate policy should be to corporations at the heart of the problem. For all but the world’s richest and most carbon-hungry inhabitants — the two are one [and] the same — climate change isn’t an issue of sacrifice so much as investment, and the most realistic solutions to it could dramatically improve the lives of millions of people.
