Scientists hope the new findings can be used to hold fossil fuel polluters accountable for their climate impacts.
If people and governments would be willing the polluters of the past could be held accountable already. It’s not hard to figure out who chose to pollute and pump more oil despite already knowing about the devastating effects of it. Seize their assets, use it for building green power, mitigation and disaster control.
I believe that for western countries to act on climate change things have to get much worse here.
So we’ll see much more devastation and then solutions with bad side effects that could have been prevented, if we had acted earlier.
The population in western countries mostly isn’t willing to spend a little bit of resources now to fight very bad outcomes of the future. Also they’re obviously not willing to do this for other people, only for themselves.
There are rules everywhere, you can’t just expect to be able to say whatever. What about bad faith commenters, spammers, illegal content etc.
