Capitalism and a healthy planet do not mix. In the pursuit of profits, capitalists explore the globe in search of as little regulation as possible. Capitalism has altered the world climate.
The Arctic Methane Emergency Group, a group of world-renowned scientists announced that “The planet is on the verge of runaway climate change, leading to the distinct possibility of an extinction event....the Arctic and the Earth are in a state of dire emergency and that only immediate drastic action can save us from catastrophe. We have no time left.”
Even though, for years, the capitalists of the world could have easily used clean, climate-friendly energy,such as renewables, instead, they selected the most profitable avenue, the least costly — fossil fuels.
As a result, the planet is at risk of an extinction event because of the mantra of profits. It’s all about profits.
