Western liberalism (in the broadest sense*) is probably incompatible with any chance of dealing with the climate crisis.

The question then becomes, is anything else, any other ideology or method of organizing society adequate to the challenge? And if so is there a way from this metastable peak to the one over there somewhere?

I have no idea. I suspect the answer is no, but I’d love to be wrong about this.

*Western liberalism here includes Republicans, nearly all Christians, and all people who call themselves liberals, libertarians, etc., because they all basically think the same way, have the same minds.
