That's why they don't get fired specifically for that, they just get fired.

honestly i've delt with more people who refuse to change anything because "what's the point" than I deal with outright deniers anymore.

But most of the people who express that opinion aren't saying it because they think that climate change is unstoppable.

They are saying it because the changes that we know can help fight climate change, that we've known about for years, that international leaders can implement, aren't being done.

And this statement, from someone with a lot influence on global carbon emissions than the average person, seems very out of touch. He is telling off the people whose house is burning down, while ignoring the arsonists.

I agree that we definitely need more supply, but there are a few things that could happen as prices increase, eg people downsizing from large places to smaller places, and people sharing accommodation.

Also, hopefully some people will sell their Air BnBs, increasing the property on the market, they'll probably become Air BnBs again, but maybe it will help with prices.

Again, more supply is needed, and rich investors will probably have a field day, but even if prices don't drop, they should at least stop sky-rocketing.
