every now and then i just cant help but marvel at the fact that the path and consequences for climate change have been laid bare, repeated and reinforced over and over and over, and we have all the tools at our disposal to curtail the worst effects and we know precisely how to do that and we just…. cant, so long as capitalism exists

like i know, on a logical level, why capitalism is fundamentally incapable of reacting to climate change with anything other than doubling down on profit, but on an emotional level i just cant get past that incredulity

like, really? really? we cant do shit about heavy industry, about fossil fuels, about industrial pollution?

except of course, that we can, and we do want to, but its a couple buses worth of people standing in our way
