In a world with over 8 billion people and increasing, where long term is considered more than 3 years, short term business profits are the primary focus and mandatory (idiotic) growth is a requirement of the dominant economic system, the mere concept of sacrificing anything for the distant future is inconceivable. Mitigate global warming? Why bother? I won’t be here long enough to see the most severe effects anyway and besides I need a new 1,500 horsepower six passenger all wheel drive truck for my daily single passenger commute to lord my power and influence over my subordinates from the top floor of the towers.
