Since capitalism is entirely motivated by money, we make it profitable to play by our rules (move towards green technologies) and expensive to ignore them (carbon tax).

You sound skeptical, which is natural, but I'm curious what strategy you support for combating climate change.

Sealioning

>Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity ("I'm just trying to have a debate"), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter. It may take the form of "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate", and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings. The term originated with a 2014 strip of the webcomic Wondermark by David Malki, which The Independent called, "the most apt description of Twitter you'll ever see".
