   Capitalism can't solve climate change because publicly traded companies must satisfy their shareholders — typically institutional investors — resulting in a focus on maximizing short-term gains at the expense of long-term planning for both the company and the environment.

     #Communism can't be achieved yet, #Anarchism is impractical and unrealistic, and I don't think I need to convince anyone reading this that autocracy is a "no." #Socialism appears to be the best option for dealing with climate change. It prioritizes the interests of the working class (the majority of society) over the accumulation of profit. Such a system would be far more keen on dealing with #climatechange than #capitalism, which prioritizes profit over our well-being.

     @davidho Capitalism has it's flaws, certainly. So does every other form of government. What system then will "solve climate change"? Communism / Socialism? Anarchism? A flavor of total autocracy?

     A system is only as determined to solve a problem as the individuals involved. The question really is do we have a critical mass of people willing to swim against the current to do what is right, or do we do what previous generations did and leave the problem on the next generation's doorstep?

     Isso aí eu aprendi no grupo escolar, quando entendi q meu pai tava doente, por intoxicação de chumbo, pq ele como jornalista e sem paciência de esperar uma prova impressa, pegava a coluna dele direto c/ o linotipista pra ler (ao contrário - como um carimbo) e corrigir a digitação.
