Yup. If the infinite growth machine can't make a profit fixing climate change, it simply won't be fixed.
No amount of home recycling, power saving, water reduction, etc. you can do will offset the pollution generated by companies in the pursuit of money.
It’s honestly too late to fix most of it. The environment will continue to get worse for at least a few hundred years due to the damage already caused. Even if we stopped all emissions, pollution, habitat destruction, and overexploitation of natural resources today, we will still see catastrophic changes to the ecosphere we evolved in.
90% insect population decline. It's right there in our faces, and (not) on our windshields. I drive a lot for work and there's just so few bug splatters compared to 10 years ago or especially compared to 20 or more. I remember 20 years ago a three hour trip this time of year would have your car absolutely plastered with bug guts. Last Friday I drove 10 hours and cleaned my windshield at the end, but it wasn't because I couldn't see.
We saw it bounce back during Covid fast. I cant help but think this bullshit is exactly what these oil companies want you to think.
This is all based on actual science that I went to school for, have a degree in, and studied for years afterwards.
The only thing that really bounced back during covid was air pollution in big cities. Global warming didn't stop, the polar caps were still melting and the insect population didn't meaningfully increase again. Less immediate pollution is nice for the people living there, but on a global scale it made next to no difference.
