Voters in western economies want their governments to fight climate change. They also do not want to pay any significant cost to fight climate change. And if required to choose between accepting a super-hot climate or paying the cost to prevent a super-hot climate, they will choose to accept the super-hot climate. They’d rather heat the planet than pay more for energy.
================================================
I disagree. The world is already undergoing a major/radical change away from fossil fuels because the public wants it and politicians know they only have a few years left to keep lying to voters. Also the fossil fuels companies know their years are numbered and they are busy getting into alternative energies.
