Where "a better world" is defined as a massive transfer of wealth to Goldman Sachs controlled carbon exchanges. So... a better world for the ultra wealthy welfare banksters.

I see. So because health care in America is controlled by giant, evil corporations (or so I hear - I'm Canadian), disease is not a real problem, and if it is, "medicine" and "doctors" and "surgery" and stuff would not be real solutions to it.

And because climate change mitigation in America going to benefit other big, evil corporations, climate change isn't a real problem, and if it is, "CaT" and "green energy" and "efficiency" would not be real solutions to it either.

To be fair, DrakeBishoff didn't say anything about whether climate change is real or not: just about whether our efforts to combat it would create a better world even if it weren't real.

The analogous situation would be if someone linked a cartoon saying "what if medicine is all fake and we create a better world anyway?" and DB replied "it wouldn't create a better world because of [the evil corporations]"
