The details are hairy (complex models, likelihoods, long timescales...) but alas the direction of travel is not.Does it matter if we destabilize Earth's climate system in 20, 50 or 100 years? There is no Earth 2.To continue operating as if nothing is at risk is recklessness of the outmost order, on the face of very clear warning signs.This reflects severe pathologies in education, governance and collective decision making.#sustainability #sustainablefinance theguardian.com/environment/20

    @Npars01 their shorttermism and narrow, personal self-interest is breathtaking. As if they don't have families, children and grand children that must grow and live in a livable planet.This absurd, self-defeating behavior is the direct result of systematic selection and augmentation of psychopathic traits in order to win in economic / poower games.This is why sustainability requires to change the incentive structure of our economies and the accountability and transparency of our governance.
