Reply to comment by T-Rex_Woodhaven in World to face wars over food and water without climate action, EU green deal chief says by YoanB

It’s not like the non-billionaires are all that supportive. The average person seems to be willing to sacrifice very little to fight global warming.

I would say there are significantly higher % of non-billionares who care about the climate crisis than % of billionaires, but that's not the point. The point is that 1 billionare in a capitalistic system has millions of times the power to change the dynamic on how we address climate change than the average person does. We could have 10 million people march on D.C. to pass legislation that gets us moving toward a more sustainable future, but 5 billionares could determine what is in that legislation because of their lobbying power. It makes regular people feel powerless.
