To me, it's mainly a "Collective Action Problem". I, my city, my state, or my country may do our part of what's needed to solve the problem, but it won't be worth anything if the rest of the world doesn't join in. Worse, our sacrifices makes the problem less urgent for other regions, who can "free ride" on our efforts. If there was "local global warming", and changing California's emissions would fix California's weather, I think it would long since be handled, despite the long term nature of the benefits. https://www.britannica.com/topic/collective-action-problem-1... |
