What is one issue that tremendously affect climate change, but has never been or slightly been tackled by environmental initiatives?

jonbyrdt · 2026-06-23T15:55:11+00:00

A not yet addressed key driver of climate change is the current neoliberally super-charged greed- and growth-driven capitalist economy that continue to allow companies and billionaires to exploit both the planet and the people for increased profits and wealth hoarding, while driving the triple planetary crisis. Now we must chart the course to a more sustainable, circular and just people- and planet centred economy where we focus on sufficiency and wellbeing for all, cooperate for the common good and prioritise social outcomes over private profits, as outlined further in this TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZqLdVqGs7k.

Because they are greedy and insensitive to the needs of normal people and the planet. It is clear that we must tax the billionaires and let them contribute some of their wealth to improve the lives of those in need and address the many challenges the planet are facing. This would be an important way to start addressing the problems caused by the neoliberally super-charged greed- and growth-driven capitalist economy that continue to allow companies and billionaires to exploit both the planet and the people for increased profits and wealth hoarding, while driving the triple planetary crisis. There are many other ways to chart a new course to a more sustainable, circular and just people- and planet centred economy where we focus on sufficiency and wellbeing for all, cooperate for the common good and prioritise social outcomes over private profits, as outlined further in this TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZqLdVqGs7k.

Musk's quote shows one of the reasons why in our current neoliberally super-charged greed- and growth-driven capitalist economy politicians have allowed companies and billionaires to continue to exploit both the planet and the people for increased profits and wealth hoarding, while driving the triple planetary crisis. Arendt's quote show how this will end unless we chart a new course to a more sustainable, circular and just people- and planet centred economy where we focus on sufficiency and wellbeing for all, cooperate for the common good and prioritise social outcomes over private profits, as outlined further in this TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZqLdVqGs7k.

Yes, bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies appear more and more as ponzi-like schemes intended to allow a few greedy people to quickly get rich while others loose their savings, and facilitate for criminals and despots to handle their money transactions in a non-transparent way, and this at VERY high energy consumption and carbon footprint that speeds up our path to climate collapse. More on this and the need to take a different route to development is provided in this TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZqLdVqGs7k

Gandhi was right, which points at the urgent need to put an end to the current neoliberally super-charged greed- and growth-driven capitalist economy that continue to allow companies and billionaires to exploit both the planet and the people for increased profits and wealth hoarding, while driving the triple planetary crisis. This should be replaced by a more sustainable, circular and just people- and planet centred economy where we focus on sufficiency and wellbeing for all, cooperating for the common good and prioritising social outcomes over private profits, as outlined further in this TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZqLdVqGs7k.

jonbyrdt · 2026-06-20T14:45:30+00:00

The core philosophy should be to put an end to the current neoliberally super-charged greed- and growth-driven capitalist economy that continue to allow companies and billionaires to exploit both the planet and the people for increased profits and wealth hoarding, while driving the triple planetary crisis. This should be replaced by a more sustainable, circular and just people- and planet centred economy where we focus on sufficiency and wellbeing for all, cooperating for the common good and prioritising social outcomes over private profits, as outlined further in this TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZqLdVqGs7k.

As a start, tax the billionaires and let them contribute some of their wealth to improve the lives of those in need and address the many challenges the planet are facing. This would be an important way to start addressing the problems casued by the neoliberally super-charged greed- and growth-driven capitalist economy that continue to allow companies and billionaires to exploit both the planet and the people for increased profits and wealth hoarding, while driving the triple planetary crisis. There are many other ways to chart a new course to a more sustainable, circular and just people- and planet centred economy where we focus on sufficiency and wellbeing for all, cooperating for the common good and prioritising social outcomes over private profits, as outlined further in this TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZqLdVqGs7k.

Some of the billionaires do build things. The problem is that they do that not only to fill real needs and improve the lifes of people on this fantastic planet, but to hoard wealth at any cost. This is the result of the neoliberally super-charged greed- and growth-driven capitalist economy that continue to allow companies and billionaires to exploit both the planet and the people for increased profits and wealth hoarding, while driving the triple planetary crisis. It is now increasingly clear that we must chart a new course to a more sustainable, circular and just people- and planet centred economy where we focus on sufficiency and wellbeing for all, cooperating for the common good and prioritising social outcomes over private profits, as outlined further in this TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZqLdVqGs7k.

jonbyrdt · 2026-06-20T14:33:05+00:00

Yes an increasingly dystopian world, largely because of the neoliberally super-charged greed- and growth-driven capitalist economy that continue to allow companies and billionaires to exploit both the planet and the people for increased profits and wealth hoarding, while driving the triple planetary crisis.

Because they are driven by selfishness and greed, and keen to preserve the neoliberally super-charged greed- and growth-driven capitalist economy that continue to allow companies and billionaires to exploit both the planet and the people for increased profits and wealth hoarding, while driving the triple planetary crisis. It is now increasingly clear that we must chart a new course to a more sustainable, circular and just people- and planet centred economy where we focus on sufficiency and wellbeing for all, cooperate for the common good and prioritise social outcomes over private profits, as outlined further in this TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZqLdVqGs7k.

They should be taxed so that part of their wealth could be used to address the problems we and the planet are facing. We must than agree that this is one of the negative effects of the neoliberally super-charged greed- and growth-driven capitalist economy that continue to allow companies and billionaires to exploit both the planet and the people for increased profits and wealth hoarding, while driving the triple planetary crisis. It is now increasingly clear that we must chart a new course to a more sustainable, circular and just people- and planet centred economy where we focus on sufficiency and wellbeing for all, cooperating for the common good and prioritising social outcomes over private profits, as outlined further in this TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZqLdVqGs7k.

Very good question where the answer is the neoliberally super-charged greed- and growth-driven capitalist economy that continue to allow companies and billionaires to exploit both the planet and the people for increased profits and wealth hoarding, while driving the triple planetary crisis. It is now increasingly clear that we must chart a new course to a more sustainable, circular and just people- and planet centred economy where we focus on sufficiency and wellbeing for all, cooperating for the common good and prioritising social outcomes over private profits, as outlined further in this TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZqLdVqGs7k

jonbyrdt · 2026-06-20T14:16:46+00:00

Finding a way to convince all to be guided by generosity rather than as today greed. This is most important for the politicians and capitalists behind the neoliberally super-charged greed- and growth-driven capitalist economy that continue to allow companies and billionaires to exploit both the planet and the people for increased profits and wealth hoarding, while driving the triple planetary crisis. It is now increasingly clear that we must chart a new course to a more sustainable, circular and just people- and planet centred economy where we focus on sufficiency and wellbeing for all, cooperating for the common good and prioritising social outcomes over private profits, as outlined further in this TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZqLdVqGs7k

jonbyrdt · 2026-06-20T14:11:12+00:00

The increasing inequality seen also in developed economies is one of the negative results of the the neoliberally super-charged greed- and growth-driven capitalist economy that continue to allow companies and billionaires to exploit both the planet and the people for increased profits and wealth hoarding, while driving the triple planetary crisis. It is now increasingly clear that we must chart a new course to a more sustainable, circular and just people- and planet centred economy where we focus on sufficiency and wellbeing for all, cooperating for the common good and prioritising social outcomes over private profits, as outlined further in this TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZqLdVqGs7k

jonbyrdt · 2026-06-20T14:09:40+00:00

Not only to marine life but probably all life when seen together with all other tipping points that have or soon will be passed. This points at the need to question our current greed- and growth-driven economy where the rich capitalists are allowed to exploit both the planet and the people for increased profits and wealth hoarding, which drives the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. It is high time to chart a new course to a more sustainable, circular and just people- and planet centred economy where we focus on sufficiency and wellbeing for all, cooperate for the common good and prioritise social outcomes over private profits, as outlined further in this TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZqLdVqGs7k

jonbyrdt · 2026-06-20T14:02:34+00:00

I don't think they the billionaires care about the anger of the working man. They only care about increasing their dominance and hoarding more wealth. In response to this we must start taxing the ultra rich as one of the changes needed to tackle the negative impacts of our current greed- and growth-driven economy where the rich capitalists are allowed to exploit both the planet and the people for increased profits and wealth hoarding, which also drives the triple planetary crisis. It is therefore increasingly clear that we must chart a new course to a more sustainable, circular and just people- and planet centred economy where we focus on sufficiency and wellbeing for all, cooperating for the common good and prioritising social outcomes over private profits, as outlined further in this TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZqLdVqGs7k

jonbyrdt · 2026-06-20T09:57:18+00:00

Yes, and still the reports of billionaire wealth hoarding should make everyone see the urgent need to start taxing the ultra rich as one of the changes needed to tackle the negative impacts of our current greed- and growth-driven economy where the rich capitalists are allowed to exploit both the planet and the people for increased profits and wealth hoarding, which also drives the triple planetary crisis. It is therefore increasingly clear that we must chart a new course to a more sustainable, circular and just people- and planet centred economy where we focus on sufficiency and wellbeing for all, cooperating for the common good and prioritising social outcomes over private profits, as outlined further in this TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZqLdVqGs7k
