    Public opinion has almost nothing to do with government policy. They will continue to kill us all, as long as there’s a financial incentive.

      Financial incentive has surprisingly little to do with capitalist/government actions. They will gladly lose billions as long as it means lower class people suffer, and they will pay billions to bail out billionaire friends that are in a tough spot.

        I was talking about the financial incentive for the oil industry. As long as there’s a financial incentive for them, the government will continue to do nothing to stop climate change.
