»The elites talk of the end of the world when we talk of the end of the month.«, Joel Kotkin & Hügo Krüger
If we do not solve this dilemma, we will get nowhere. Cloudy ideas and wishful thinking will backfire and in the end we have neither a clean environment nor a functioning society. This is true for developed and even more so for developing countries:
»The environmental impacts of the energy ban are rarely considered. Up to 40 percent of the African continent still relies on deforestation for its basic energy needs with nearly four million hectares of forest being cut down every year.«
»During the IPCC Glasgow conference, India’s prime minister Narendra Modi said that India will not address climate change until 2070« and Xi Jinping does not even participate at the COP26. What does that mean? Whatever is decided at these conferences is pretty much worthless.
And yet, we continue this type of talking shop, seemingly without understanding that no one (of relevance) is interested in the one dimensional point of view of Western activists. It will lead nowhere, except damaging our societies without effect for climate or nature.
What is the alternative?
