Really? I think people are too busy being terrified about the US descent into fascism and tearing down global trade. That has ultimately had a much stronger impact on this election than either parties climate change policies.
Yes, and systems thinking would encourage us to explore why that is: Starting with understanding the patterns, systems and structures, mental models that cause ppl (especially in Aus) to treat Climate Change like a less important problem than the rise of fascism.
I mean as someone who is deeply concerned about climate change... our main military ally becoming a Fat poorly run Nazi state with nukes is kind of a big deal...
Both are problems one is like a fire on a cooktop the other is like a more like a leaking pipe in a wall both will ruin your home... But you put out the fire before you call the plumber
Agreed, we must direct a lot of attention to what's happening in the US. But we have multiple government departments to work on concurrent crises (not one person with one phone).
Amazing.
