 Many residents trapped under the mud. You can't change farming. If the countries of the global north were in line to suffer the level of devastating effects being seen and predicted for the global south, we would have already had a vigorous program of decarbonization. My name is Julia Chor. I've been studying issues of environment and climate since the 1980s. Conventional economics has failed to step up. A small group has been able to prevent humanity from effectively responding to this crisis. The concept of the carbon footprint was invented by British petroleum. Naming consumers as the problem deflects attention from the producers. The environment is conceptualized as something that we consume, and that's a fundamental error. One of the big messages of this series is that inequality itself is a cause of the climate crisis, not merely a result. Those who have done the most to cause the problem are the most privileged. Instead of continually expanding the size of their economies, wealthy nations should think about getting rich on another dimension. Time. I made these videos because economics has been part of the problem. Economics is vital right alongside the science of climate change. The science is pretty nailed down. The economics is what we have to work on now.
