    True, although most countries also didn’t improve as much as they should.

    We’re in an economical prisoner dilemma here…
    And when a country says, “fuck it, we’re going for short term profits”, the upcoming cost due to climate change will get distributed to pretty much every country.
    Just like the bailout shit. Profits for cooperations, costs for the public.
    Same shit again, just on a larger/worldwide scale

      Its even worse than that. Literally nobody has done as much as needs to be done.

      And far too many (at least in my country) seem to be saying “we are such a small drop in the ocean compared to (insert larger country here), so why should we go first?”.

      It’s frustrating to see how badly we’re fucking our children and grandchildren through laziness, denial and greed.

      Oh please let’s not pretend like every country isn’t plagued by this, our society’s best motto is money over everything including the future.
