Capitalism and the Environment

Recent decades have revealed alarming trends in climate change, with scientists often underestimating the severity of the situation. Ice shelves are destabilizing sooner than anticipated, and the frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones have increased. Additionally, wildfires and beetle infestations are becoming more destructive, while unexpected changes in oceanic conditions pose further risks. The potential loss of coral reefs could occur much sooner than previously thought, challenging the timeline for ecological stability and highlighting the urgent need for action.
