Deadlock

When the society’s wealth increases with increased profits, any cost increasing measure creates a strong opposition. Especially in the latest decades with the concern for the environment, companies have to pay for their environmental impact. Coupled with the higher wages, the productions shift to less environmental conscious regions which happen to pay little attention to their own people and let them work for nothing. Production is vital for all the nations. Trying to bring back the production to homeland creates a dilemma.

When you have limited time to solve problems and show results to the society, like in case of politicians, the scientists are blamed and one of the cost burdens on the companies can be lifted temporarily.

Like Galileo’s famous words “E pur si muove” (And yet it (Earth) moves). Even if we shot down all climate monitoring stations on Earth, the truth of climate change stays the same.

It’s a complex problem with no definitive solution. The solution should be developed for each special case. The question is “How can we develop production technologies that have minimal environmental impact and still maintain low production costs. I don’t know if anyone have asked it to the mighty AI engines.

From my point of view, the biggest problem for the environment is the human population. As with the advancement in technologies and the modernization of the societies, humanity do not require a lot of people to maintain its existence. More population means more junk needs to be produced to satisfy all these people. Which requires cheap manufacturing and short product life. Resulting more pollution from production and waste. Higher population also lowers the average intelligence of the society which shows its reflections on the politics.
