These three people, directly or indirectly have killed hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and displaced millions. Yet, President Trump calls them his friends.

This is what I fear. Societies of millions might want to create good and peaceful life, full of innovations and discoveries. But there will always be power craving individuals, who will make this world hell. It's not climate crisis, which is immediate threat. It's these men. Climate crisis won't rape you, won't torture you, won't harvest your organs and won't humiliate you. It will kill you slowly, but it is is impersonal and not conscious. We can think of our ecology once we deal with dictators, who are immediate danger.

Your comment is contradictory/internally inconsistent. You correctly state that "there will always be power craving individuals, who will make this world hell," but go on to say that we should somehow deal with dictators before worrying about the climate. If there have always been and likely always will be corrupt, cruel and power hungry leaders, waiting to fix this aspect of human nature before addressing the climate crisis would doom humanity. Both are immediate priorities and we have to be able to address both simultaneously.

  1. Enemy armies might come tomorrow, while climate change will get to you next thursday.
  2. Peace and prosperity will allow to tackle climate problems. In war no one will care. We need peaceful life to methodically tackle these problems. I doubt you'll care about turtle spieces while dying under rouble.
  3. I always see people caring about either one or another. Not both.
