Worlds apart, united in anthropocentrism (together the ruin of the earth)
You know what’s going to be the biggest factor getting in the way of soothing the extent that climate change will have on this blue sphere here?
The international community outside of the Western countries gives a fuck about so-called “green technologies”. They care more about their own development, which had been kept down for centuries by the plundering of the dominant European and North American countries. And that means, cheap energy accessible to the biggest mass of people and local industries carries more importance than making it as exclusive as it can get through applying complex and expensive technologies in the chain, which the bigger parts of the population in the first world countries are able to afford (in whatever way possible to individuals).
The mindset of the Western world and what they think of as “problems” is so far away from those of the rest of the world - literally elevated thousands of kilometers above the ground, figuratively.
So are many other issues such as that of a cultural nature, for example.
The rest of the world literally doesn’t care about the gender-fantasies of twenty-somethings in the US or Europe and their dreams of deconstructing the biological base of the two sexes. Or about rainbow flags, pride months and loudly celebrating LGBT minority rights like they would be a cure against HIV and cancer altogether (rights which quite a chunk of areas in the world don’t have anyway).
There are way more urgent problems to them than such boredom- and living-in-security-driven ergotherapy of emphasizing things that revolve around the aspect of the anthropocentric worldview to overestimate the social ongoings between humans in a society.
To the rest of the world, the classic aspects of the mindset of the anthropocentric worldview are important: Where do humans get a space to live, a roof over their head, food and water for humans, jobs to earn money and chances to procreate - as well as chances to feed that offspring and raise it into an adult.
If you want to get the rest of the world into the same boat as the culturally loony Western part of the planet, then you first rather need to get them to abandon their part of the anthropocentric worldview, in which all natural resources of the planet exist just to serve and be consumed primarily by humans. - Including your own focus where human business and social interaction still also overshadows everything, beside you talking about “wanting to save the world” and “protecting the environment” (inconsequently).

It's the Buffets, the Soros”
“So, well, no-one's found an answer to that previously.”
This is what I was thinking about – these, let’s say Soros like rich bastards couldn’t destroy last platform where they are living with their own children, they need to keep money, real knowledge and morality somewhere… Just imagine that hundreds of years ago some Tsar, which is fighting with all the neighbors because his lands are fertile and his folks are strong and healthy will start poisoning his own population? What will happens with him and with his relatives very soon — ... ? Best example I could rise now is our last Russian Tsar which had played too long with modern at those times ideas ( he even thought of stopping military race :))) ) while against Russia were used very concrete and old technologies to destroy it...

But can logic apply to American billionaires? (Or people made their billions in the American economic sphere?)
This would be a thing to question, in my view.
Well... and otherwise, maybe they all already made the "masterplan" to split the US into their economic zones of influence to squish the last little bit of money out of the populace and to undermine an own sphere of executive power, becoming a little king themselves over some territory. - Just like could be seen in many dystopian movies.
Who knows...

I am sure there is the deadly logic in all what is going on at the Western hemisphere.
What is about the American billionaires logic then, again I think they are quite logical guys because you couldn’t made money if you do not act according to some logic. Yes, the American printer which has got out of control is making money making things less difficult but anyway there is always small glimpse of competition… it is much more easy to be illogical being a poet, painter, singer but people which are working with real things like finance, industries, building business demand to be sane.

Yes, that is my question – why to ruin such perfect territory as USA is and to flee to some small one area as Australia or New Zealand? Who knows, maybe the authorities of USA know something like Edgar Cayce prediction that USA soon will suffer from some ecological disaster or something but again, then what for was to print so much money and borrow the resources from around the world to build so many high scrapers, plants, roads, bridges at USA? Strange…
Look on China how their authorities are fighting hard for morality and against all the worst for mankind as the drugs addiction, for example...

Yes, people like Buffet who have been around like forever, they have some sort of strong sense how to act in this business in order to be successful and achieve their goals - but, there's also a different side to that: Americans, in general, seem to be intellectually really educated in just one area, that's where they are a master, and in other areas they're like a dancer with two left feet.
It's not like education from communist systems which emphasized an extensive common knowledge in everyone.
The older American investors like Buffet - hm, maybe they still know different times and have a different degree of education. Not this modern style that keeps them stupid (which people like him even helped fostering).
But, I find, that's pretty hard to calculate.
One can be wrong, but one could also be right.
