Ahh, what a load of shite. 3 authors who are not climate scientists, not from Environment Canada, and who are probably from some squishy field like sociological psychology. Well here's the thing about capitalism: greed. From gangsters to soccer moms, it teaches them all "why think about the future when you can gain something material today?" (Otherwise known as the "See you in Hell" option.) At some point the rich oligarchs lost the fucking plot, and frankly don't care to find it again. Greater good? They've never heard of it. Long-term? These fuckers can't think that far ahead, except for a few who are dreaming of creating space colonies so they can abandon 99% of us to die on this ruined planet. So it is us versus them, in a fight for survival? Fuck yeah, this is obvious. But what system could ever stand up to the evils of human nature?
Basic human failure & corruption than can infect any system to the point where it finally collapses in some catastrophe. No buzzwords needed.
Cold-blooded fact: ALL human activity does damage; the question is how much the ecosystem can actually repair. We blew right through that line decades ago. 8 billion humans does more damage than this world can possibly handle. Capitalism? Communism? How about some birth control - lots of it !
Still, I bet Pollywannacracker probably jizzed his shorts at the thought of using this for fundraising. "ERMAGERD TRUUDAU AGIN !" Wankers will wank, after all.
