Doesn't seem like there is any foreseeable future where climate change can be addressed. It's not just the leadership of the u.s, but the citizens themselves reject climate change as a real issue. Hopefully I'm just being pessemsitic.

No, I 100% blame politicians and the media. If this climate thing is such an issue as the "doomsayers" say it is, then we should be outright and immediately banning/dismantling and destroying infrastructure that causes it. But instead, we faff about with "carbon credits" and "media campaigns", and cause all sorts of divisive misinformation and "cover" for the worst offenders.

In democratic societies we get the politicians we vote for.

Four wolves and a sheep voting on what is for dinner

Are you presuming the existence of some hypothetical political system that would prevent the wolves from eating the sheep?

Can you be more specific?
