He left the race with his dignity intact. That is more than some can say who got notably further.
Back in 2005, during the Bush administration, Jeff Sachs was still saying we could end poverty and decarbonize with the US and Europe spending less than 2% of GDP. But as that opportunity cost was foregone, we see that fixing the planet gets more and more expensive, with more and more people not wanting to live in poverty. Last week, I read about something I’d never heard of: eco-fascism. It seems like nobody is leading on dealing with the approaching extinction event, even if it is preventable and doesn’t even require epic sacrifice. We could well end up in 2100 with a world that has lost 5/6 of all species, a human population under 1 billion and venus-like atmospheric trends that only benefit cockroaches.
