The big flaw in climate policy: We’re trying to solve the wrong problem | Jessica Green, author of ‘Existential Politics,’ argues that the international community’s focus on measuring emissions helped delay real action on climate change.

By talking about emissions screamed to me that we were insincere in our concern for global warming. We were trying to fix things without fixing a single thing. The ol MBA double speak.

Walkable cities are so much more important, but that would hurt the car industry. So we played a game of reducing emissions to appease them at the expense of global warming.
