    The answer is no.

    The reason why is that those in power are exceedingly wealthy, and the wealthy believe that the escalating climate crisis will not affect their standard of living in any meaningful way.

      Which means that it takes bottom-up organizing to force politicians to address climate.

        That’s what everyone says, and then they vote for millionaires and multi-millionaires to represent us, as if those people have to listen to you or me about anything.

          They need peoples’ votes. Get even fairly modest numbers of people organized, and they pay attention.
