Dont know about this guy and what he says. Just know that a lot is being developed to get the world better, the environment protected. But mostly by startup companies. The big boys, the fossil fuel companies for instance, are turning aaay from anything to do with green, bcs their c-level wants it, or theor shareholders wants it. Their lobby is too powerful as well for governments to not listen and/or counter. Perhaps we shall simply nationalis all fossil fuel companies and then use their fortunes to push into saving the environment.

Reducing poverty I believe shall be done be changing the system in such way resources are more equally spread. I guess that will be the outcome of more direct changes to the system itself.

The world is a complex system. It is not easy to turn something. Essentially the turning needs all of us to want it. But wanting is not enough. We all need to act accordingly. The latter isn’t always the case, even for those who wants it. It is gigantic cultural shift we have to go through. Starting from ourselves, make small steps, take the heat, pay a bit more for the better options and so on and so forth.
