I agree with you. The more I am reading Greta’s book (or compilation of scientific articles) the more I see that. Big Oil Companies have even scaled their own production methods to the reality of future climate change while paying fake-scientists and politicians to deny the reality of climate change. But current actions / or inaction is moving us quickly toward something around 3 Degrees above temperatures before the industrial revolution. Sometimes people have to see it to believe it. And that’s enormous ego’s we are talking about. Right now they will not be able to spend time with their mistresses on Greek islands or Sardinia either. So they will realize that there is a need to change too.
And I am very hopeful of Americans on these issues. The Brits are said to be much educated. If anything has happened in the world recently, they have thought about it, they have already discussed about it, they probably know it. But when it comes to action (Think of Kosovo and Sarajevo in the 90’s for instance), Americans may get it late, but when they get it, they tend to act faster than anyone else (Maybe it’s the legacy of feudalism in the old world, but I think this is true).
