Capitalism Broke the Climate. Now It Can Fix It | Akshat Rathi | TED
We can blame capitalism for worsening the climate crisis, says journalist Akshat Rathi, but we can also use it to create the solutions we need for the mess we’re in. He details how “climate capitalism” — the strategic use of market forces and government policies to make polluting the planet cost more than advancing climate…

The problem cannot be the solution. His example of China is so flawed. China regulates the private sector using socialist policy. The socialist policy is created by a communist government. The IRA subsidies is a socialist approach to regulating capitalism. He has little to no understanding of the basic principles of capitalism.

Those things are bi products of capitalism, they exist purely to make money.
Communism isn’t the answer, but capitalism as it is now is a problem.

Climate is changing but the “climate change crisis” is man made manipulation to change governments. It’s all about control over people and freedoms.
It’s a sham, clown show.

I don’t have enough internet to watch the video, amazed it loaded enough to do a comment if this works, but I could read the title and it reminded me of something I’ve been saying for years: Make carbon capture from the atmosphere profitable, and capitalism solves the climate crisis.. before it breaks it the other way, anyway 🤣
But that seriously could work, because the time it takes for this change could also be the time it takes us to replace capitalism, if we aim to make the shift around the time we’ve balanced it lol. It would be a massive reduction in economic strain to do that that way and ensure survival. If those were the only important factors it would be easy.
But of-course other known and unknown factors need much much more consideration, prediction, and planning for, and are the bulk of it.

We’ve squandered valuable decades pursuing this exact magical thinking. No, capitalism isn’t going to save us from this. It is actively making the problem worse RIGHT NOW. We need to stop kidding ourselves and use government to act in the interest of the people it represents, not the profits of our corporate overlords.

With solar panels, companies will start moving towards planned obsolescence at the first chance they get. With the ice cream examples, they will find a way to make an ultra-processed alternative to ice cream (which is cheaper than buying actual dairy anyway) and make gig economy workers drive around to deliver them to you.
The speaker did not once mention the core problem of capitalism: the necessity of endless growth.
While strong government intervention and subsidies are certainly a good idea, it’s difficult to believe that he actually thinks they are a proper solution to the core problems of capitalism. Instead, we can look towards designing new, non-capitalist systems that foster innovation without these core problems.

Because of the war on cheap hydrocarbon fuels, and the inflation caused by spending money that does not exist, on a crisis that does not exist, increases costs for everyone. There is no such thing as green energy, and no long term storage from times when the wind doesn’t blow, and the sun doesn’t shine. “Green energy” is dirty, hurts the planet, and depends on slave wages, actual slaves. EVs are unreliable, dangerous, and much more expensive over hydrocarbon powered vehicles. There has been no increase in extreme weather events and global warming ….. there is no “Climate Crisis”

Currently capitalism benefits and actually advocates militarism. Its a $7+ trillion industry. Millions of individuals serve. Millions more of the most intelligent people manufacturer design invent the weapons of death. The industry also has access to the best raw materials, educational institutions, computer processing, etc etc. In other words everything needed for the transition already exists. Political leaders role is to shift this same machine from its current path of death and destruction to biosphere protections, improvements to existing infrastructure. In a world of 8 billion precious humans we no longer require the barbaric playbook of empire which created so much of the hatred and divisiveness of today. I’m with the presenter! The game of civilization is the best thing humans have made.

Absolutely not. Capitalism a) maximises returns to shareholders b) requires exponential returns. No reason to think that will result in anything other than what it’s delivered to date – loads of crap no one really needs by exploiting people and resources all over the world, and the climate crisis. It’s broken.

If you really think capitalism can save the world then consider getting an appointment with your psychiatrist and some economics and history lessons.
