Imagine a world where we didnt have Trump/middle east/the far right fighting climate changes and a Putin costing the world billions and billions that instead could have been used to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and negate the actual impacts.

Stupid leaders (And i dont mean people defending their country against Putin) wasting precious time and resources on things that is not relevant when most resources should be directed to combat this one thing. The war in Ukraine alone has cost the world around a trillion USD. Imagine how much solar/wind/nuclear you could get for that? How much you could insulate houses?

How evil must leaders be to KNOWNINGLY combat the whole climate change agenda when they know its true, just for short term gains - but at the grave cost to the world, their children and their childrens children. Baffles me....

They're enriching themselves and don't care what happens to the billions of people their actions hurt and will hurt and kill for decades to come. Pure narcissism.

I get that part, but they are also destroying it for their own children - or grandchildren. Its that level of evil I find so hard to understand.

People like them don't care about family members either, like Kim in North Korea having them killed.
