A comment on JP Morgan economists warn climate crisis is threat to human race. Parent comment
Climate denialism in developed countries has many forms. Some of them include:
1. It's not happening
2. It's happening but it's natural
3. It's happening and it's because of human activity but it'll cost too much to fix it.
4. We could fix it but we'd be outcompeted by everyone else who doesn't. So let's not.
Tariffs and sanctions are to address #4. Rich countries absolutely must fix their economies, no question about it.
