“Not one single nation among you can afford this, as climate disasters rip double digits off GDP,” he said. “To falter whilst megadroughts wreck national harvests, sending food prices soaring, makes zero sense economically and politically. To squabble while famines take hold, forcing millions to flee their homelands – this will never be forgotten as conflicts spread.”

    Bbb…bbb.but addressing climate change will rip SINGLE DIGITS off of our profits! Have you thought of the next quarter’s profits? How will the poor capitalist maintain his yacht fleet?

    Seriously, if human civilization survives this, it will be remembered as the most predicted, obvious and preventable disaster in human history. Scientists knew about it since god damn 19th century, and have been forewarning the impending catastrophe since 1960s…
