It has been suggested that global warming could be solved if we could invest between 1% and 3% of global GDP into fixing it.
This is the same amount that is now being earmarked for ‘beggar my neighbour’ increases in defence spending across the globe .

Why do we seem able to raise that kind of money for increases in defence spending but are continuously told it is impossible to act on global warming problems which not only are an existential threat to all of us, but are also a significant contributor to the illegal immigration pressures that cause so much political difficulty?

Thank you
