Climate catastrophe__"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers"

 

If William Shakespeare was alive today probably would have replaced lawyers with the super-rich. Because it's the super-rich that is in the way of the ecological revolution that the world desperately needs in order to tackle the ongoing climate catastrophe. The very same climate catastrophe that this week just brought a new temperature record in Europe of 48.8 ºC.  https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/europe-record-temperature-sicily-italy-b1900917.html

If as the Physicist Martin Devaux wrote a few years ago:   “Humans will not willingly sacrifice much of their comfortable lifestyles for the greater good (especially for people in other countries) unless it is taken from them...” then it is the group of the super-rich who have the more unsustainable lifestyles https://ideas.ted.com/environmental-impact-carbon-emissions-of-space-tourism/ who should be the first in line to be "sacrificed".
