Part 14 on Geology, Politics and Philosophy: Natural Climate Change and why we are confused by it

The Topic Idea
We are people who think on the short term. Capitalism thinks on the short term profits. Climate change is a longer range problem, which will need long term solutions. Politicians are slow at reacting to problems. Especially in a democracy. Plus they are there to look out for the interests of their voters within a single nation.
