Funding The Climate Breakdown : How can it be stopped?

Click here to access an 11:17m video from Just Have a Think via YouTube.

I think this latest installment from Just Have a Think is an excellent example of what Cory Morningstar has thoroughly exposed about capitalism's funding of reform efforts to subvert the protests concerning the climate crisis. Note particularly what Dave Borlace, the narrator, says about selecting "our banks" who will in turn, presumably because of our influence, fund efforts at mitigating the crisis. Absolute nonsense! Yes, they will set up some banks for this purpose, but meanwhile the major banks will continue to do business as usual.  And if we are fooled, we will see an increasing climate and environmental deterioration which will eventually end in the extinction of human and most other species.

I don't know if the narrator is a naive dupe or whether he is consciously serving the ruling capitalist classes. But I do know that privately owned banks, which make up the Federal Reserve and control it, do not serve the general public in our societies, but only one tiny part of it--the ruling capitalist class.

I repudiate my recommendation that you subscribe to this YouTube channel as I previously recommended in the last paragraph of the post on September 27, 2019.
