You’re correct… but it also is an economic case. If we want to continue having a robust economy we need the world to not collapse into chaos.
I agree that there are much more reasonable existential reasons to lean on but like… if “Climate change will cause NVidia to drop 900%” gets finance bros on board with a solution then fucking well done.
We need action and at this point I really don’t care if everyone properly understands the why - just as long as those fucks don’t stand in the way of the what (specifically, a solution).
There’s also money to be made from climate change action, particularly for those countries that get this done earlier. People who care about the bigger picture don’t need to be convinced by that, but it can help convince the rest.
I always thought that about solar panel production here in the US: oops, let’s send that overseas, and windmills: oops, someone else can do that, trains: oops, no need for that here. I hope they follow through with the economic reasons to stop climate change but business seems mostly about opportunities sent elsewhere.

This is probably the right take, although I’m sure some segment of the population will hear “So you’re saying keep going the way we’re going but short NVidia?”
