In many ways, this is business as usual. Climate change is an international problem requiring international cooperation, the possibilities for which are determined by geopolitics. But this year, something more unsettling is emerging: climate change is itself beginning to impact geopolitics.
Climate change is going to hit poorer countries hardest, but rich countries will feel it through mass migration.
Europe already struggled with refugees from Syria and Africa, and climate migration will be on a whole different scale.
Countries like Denmark just aren’t set up to handle millions of new people without major changes.
It’s going to take global cooperation and some hard decisions to deal with what’s coming.
That would disrupt earnings expectations. Sorry, can’t have that. Better to do nothing until civilization literally collapses from private profit made climate change.
Think about it this way. If the crops fail, global economies collapse, and billions of people are dying of superstorms, hunger, and dehydration en masse in 20 years, that’s still like 80 quarterly profit result calls to run up the owner’s ego scores until they have to retreat to their luxury bunkers that double as pharoah tombs! Score!
Let the celebration and enablement of wanton avarice and gluttony by God’s chosen 30k or so sociopath families continue!!!
