Ah yes, the caveman cartoon.

Cute, but completely dishonest.

It implies that preventing climate change is as simple as flipping a switch, and that anyone who raises economic concerns is some fossil-fueled Neanderthal.

The reality?

The economy is how we feed people, build hospitals, fund innovation, and adapt to any crisis, including climate.

If economic collapse weren’t a risk worth worrying about, why did the IPCC devote entire chapters to “Losses and Damages” and “Climate-Resilient Development”?

Because poor societies suffer the most when energy gets expensive or scarce.

And you say I’m “immoralizing”?

No, I’m arguing for pragmatism over utopianism.

The moral position isn’t to virtue signal with abstract net-zero goals while ignoring the cost to the most vulnerable.

The moral position is to invest in adaptive resilience, push for real innovation (not mandates), and stop pretending that banning gas stoves or flying less is going to halt wildfires.

If your entire worldview is pinned to cartoons and government slogans, maybe it’s time to exit the cave.

Cartoons are great.

But in the real world, collapsing economies don’t stop climate change, they cause hunger, disease, and war.

If you think ESG slogans will fix the weather, you're not evolved.

You're deluded.
