Conservatives have already written a climate plan for Trump's second term
www.politico.com
Hundreds of conservative operatives outlined a plan that Donald Trump, or any Republican, could use to purge climate action from the federal government.

Called Project 2025, it would block the expansion of the electrical grid for wind and solar energy; slash funding for the Environmental Protection Agency’s environmental justice office; shutter the Energy Department’s renewable energy offices; prevent states from adopting California’s car pollution standards; and delegate more regulation of polluting industries to Republican state officials.

    I have a sad hunch that in a 10~15 years time, right/far-right wind political parties will criticize the left for “not having done enough” and start a propaganda with a hopeful message: “we can fix this!” (when CC really starts hurting the economy)

    Most of their voters will forget years of science denial, laws that allowed companies to pollute the world, political malpractice, etc… Those parties (in the US and EU) won’t be hurt once they switch their narratives

    This is subjective, but I think the vast majority of our system is not only incapable of thinking long-term, but also remembers very little. Humanity’s behavior feels similar to an ant on a leaf just flowing down a creek

      They already do this when something impacts them. Then shortly after they forget when the TV tells them to. I’ve seen it with coworkers during and months after natural disasters.

      Shortest path algorithm. I think we are about to see the limits of it. We don’t fully understand NP complete problems. Maybe future generations can figure it out.
