The vast majority of climate focused policy and arguments has nothing to do with climate change. A significant portion is lightly re themed malthusian arguments. Another significant portion is people wanting to change society to their preferred version.

Having worked in climate change policy for almost a decade, the problem is veey real and every single big “solution” is a pro-petroleum shitshow.
Every single true believer willing to throw their whole lives at the problem are in denial about the political will being behind them and adamantly saying “If we make drastic changes today, we can still hold it to 1.0…1.5…2.0 C!” It’s fucking delusional. The denial about things like literally not being able to address obvious contradictions like a huge delegation going to the COP to just…be seen…? You don’t need 12 people flying to a business expense week-long extravaganza to complain about carbon footprints.
We are literally so cooked. Where’s the Kalshi bet on what year we have a BOE? My bet in 2029.
