In large part due to Earth’s enormous size, there is a general obliviousness, if not a willful carelessness, towards the vast natural environment. There’s a continuance of polluting with a business-as-usual attitude. Societally, we still discharge pollutants like it’s all absorbed into the environment without repercussion.
Here in the Far West, if the universal availability of a renewable energy alternative would come at the expense of the traditional ‘energy’ production companies’ large profits, one can expect obstacles, including the political and regulatory sort. If something notably conflicts with corporate big-profit interests, even very progressive motions are greatly resisted, often enough successfully.
Too many people continue throwing non-biodegradable garbage down a dark chute or flush pollutants down toilet/sink drainage pipes as though they’re inconsequentially dispensing that waste into a black-hole singularity where it’s safely compressed into nothing. And then there are the corporate-scale toxic-contaminant spills in rarely visited wilderness. Out of sight, out of mind.
Also, increasingly problematic is the very large and growing populace who are too overworked, worried and even rightfully angry about food and housing unaffordability for themselves or their family — all while on insufficient income — to criticize various industries for the environmental damage they cause, particularly when it's not immediately observable to the masses.
It all must be convenient for those interests — particularly when neoliberals and conservatives remain overly preoccupied with vocally criticizing one another for their relatively trivial politics and therefore divert attention away from some of the planet's greatest polluters and pollution, where it actually very-much should and needs to be sharply focused.
Canada's now-cancelled carbon tax managed to induce shrill complaints. This, despite the fact that, except for high-income earners, Canadians were more than reimbursed via federal government rebate. The whining persisted nonetheless, including by corporatized mainstream news-media — likely much of the same news outlets that continuously blasted the tax YET ACCEPTED tax dollars to keep themselves employed due to corporate losses.
Ironically, if it wasn't for the corporate welfare subsidization the Liberals gave/give to Postmedia (etcetera) news products, it very well could've been the end of the same 'journalism' constantly critical of the Liberals and especially their carbon tax.
The solution is obvious!
We must unite and resolve to get rid of all water from the Earth.
I can see that Muad'dib would agree. Earth must become like Arrakis, that Shai-Hulud will prosper.
👏👏👏😂😂😂😂
