Why It's Hopeless to Hope for Effective Action on Climate Change

All these predictions typically state that something horrible will happen by 2050, or “by the end of the century,” i.e. 2100! Well, the politicians look at that and figure, I'll be dead before then. So why should they stick their hand in a political buzzsaw? For what? They'll just be hamstrung or ousted from power if they try and impose disruptive remedies- and any effective remedy is unavoidably going to be disruptive of the existing socio-economic order.

They aren't leaders, after all, despite that mendacious designation for them. They're rulers. Same as corporate bosses are BOSSES, not “leaders,” as their egotistical self-designation has it. (You never see the word “boss” in the U.S. media except like this: “union bosses.” Only unions have bosses. There are no bosses in business. Just intrepid, inspiring “leaders.”)

What a crock.
