I just want to log this in the annals. We knew climate change was real. We knew there were solutions. We chose to destroy the biosphere for the profits of a tiny minority. Governments & regulatory agencies went along. Sociopathic self-destruction, not need.

The Palais des Nations in Geneva, a significant UN building, has often shut off things like escalators to save on costs. So it’s not exactly a far fetched comment.

No real surprise either. An industry that has spent the last 40 years deliberately lying & undermining actions on a product that is literally destabilizing our entire planet. Democracy is certainly not going to offer any moral barrier.
