   Which is why it all comes back to voters (at least in democracies).

   Nothing can change until they do, if any Government states it needs to crash the economy (I'd like to see it done with some equity in mind, taking from the rich and the lives of the poor improved with great social outcomes like public transport) to reduce emissions, they'd never be relected, let alone struggle to get any legislation passed.

   People who blame polticans are looking to deflect blame from the real culprits. We entitled, apathetic self aborbed voter who elect entitled, self absorbed polticans and we so lack the imagination to grok what's happening what will happen.
