“Politicians Discussing Global Warming” (Berlin)
Powerful image here.
I can’t say what the issues preventing progress are in Germany, but here in the U.S., we have an entire political party that is trying to convince us of something they know to be false, i.e., that: anthropogenic global warming (AGW) is a hoax, or the science isn’t resolved, or mitigating AGW is an anti-capitalistic job-killer.
The fossil fuel industry has a stranglehold on U.S. energy policy, and has no intention of releasing it. This is a group of extremely wealthy people who are getting richer by the day, via ruining our planet.
