A lot of big polluters are publicly traded companies. Owning shares of US public companies means you can go to shareholder meetings, vote, and other rights.
What do all think of a non profit that runs and is funded with an endowment composed of big polluters like oil companies and using the dividends to fund climate initiatives? In the mean time, using the seat at the table to influence other shareholders to reduce emissions, which is in their long term interest anyways.
If the endowment dries up, mission accomplished. If it grows, more money to act with.
What do all think?
Sorry Thanos, you can’t use the instigator of man-made climate change to cure it.
It’s not an unforseen blip capitalism accidentally caused. All the commons always suffer under unchecked capitalism. Our US K-12 System was starved to death to cut capitalist taxes, our commons/infrastructure are in ruin because of capitalists straining them for private profit and again to cut their taxes after they used their profit to lobby for it, etc.
So, no, doubling down won’t help.
