npub1ne0wjshkyj2ukkk2wjmdf2rfrnl6fd24je2ekwtkl9588vd9ldwq7ep3ud (npub1ne0…p3ud) Do you share the widely-held view (eg Naomi Klein) that rampant, unrestrained #Capitalism is the problem and NOT the solution & that, for the sake of the planet, it is Capitalism itself that needs to be either significantly reined-in or abolished entirely?
I appears that the latest #Biden #POTUS environmental strategy [“The New National Strategy To Develop Statistics For Environmental-Economic Decisions”] relies heavily on private sector buy-in & involvement which, if I’m not wrong (among other things) could lead to enormous corruption & abuse of public funds as we’ve seen a lot of in many other contexts recently!
“Technocrats Won’t Solve The Climate Crisis” via #Jacobin npub1fv5263j7pynyd4ft90hapjkmup66svus223842nr5xs664qy9qdsuqymat (npub1fv5…ymat)
“While the initiative is praiseworthy in ambition and scope, skepticism is difficult to avoid. The idea that large-scale investment in infrastructure required to avert the worst consequences of climate change can be ensured through an elaborate accounting trick is, at the very least, naive. Ultimately, such a proposal forestalls grappling with the question of whether relying entirely on the private sector places limits on meaningful and effective response to climate change.”
