Capitalism Caused Climate Change (But Might Save it Too)

<p>There are messages in it that reek of hypocrisy. Mainly the idea that undeveloped countries shouldn&rsquo;t develop as richer ones have. It will drive further climate change. This one&rsquo;s a head-scratcher because it&rsquo;s probably true. But the&nbsp;<a href="https://sdgs.un.org/goals" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">UN development goals</a>&nbsp;aim to take everyone out of poverty. And&nbsp;<a href="https://www.devex.com/news/sponsored/opinion-how-climate-change-jeopardizes-sustainable-development-102636" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">climate change is making that harder</a>. How do you resolve this?</p> <p>I was in Nigeria for a couple of weeks in 2018. A chap named Albert was driving me around. This was his day job. His real ambition was growing his egg farming business, which he pursued tenaciously. I know this because he sold me some eggs I didn&rsquo;t need (they were delicious). This story is random, but it brings me to a point. Albert wasn&rsquo;t concerned about climate change. He was concerned about making money.</p> <p><a href="https://oznwachukwu-pfbd.medium.com/capitalism-caused-climate-change-but-might-save-it-too-78560451da0"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
