Climate Change - The story so far
Honestly, it's so frustrating dealing with the people who want to stick their heads in the sand. Even if you don't believe the climate is changing, have you not noticed how the air has gotten less brown over major cities since coal plants were shut and car/truck emissions were at least reduced? Even if global warming weren't a thing, I'd very much prefer to not breath brown air.
These business men are morons. They could have used their vast wealth, market advantage, and the advantage of knowing early about the necessity of the coming energy transition to corner the new renewable market. Instead they just tried to put off the inevitable at the expense of everybody, including themselves.
They seek to maximize quarterly revenue, their next quarter in particular. Not in 15-30 years.
Don't expect a company to decide on its own to prioritize long term revenue, or the public's welfare. Especially not if it's publically traded and/or has some hedge fund ownership.
That's what regulations and carbon taxes are for.
That goes to my point. It’s a stupid way to run a business. Catering to the quarter instead of the health and longevity of the business is stupid.
Okay it's real and it's because of us but there's nothing we can do about it!1!! Like what do you want us to do??? Maybe if you give me a few more million dollars to do studies on the impacts of doing things then we'll be able to know for sure if we should do anything about it
*should have done a lot about it
The alternative was to make potentially make less money.
