It’s not a conspiracy: the tragedy of the commons + short term vs long term nature of markets are real patterns - history says we’re bad at this but... can do surprisingly well, sometimes, with shared goals - we’re in a challenge phase. Do we have enough time to wake up?

@gop would ever bother -
Ironically, the US military identified climate change as our biggest security risk many years ago...
