Stephan, you’re right: democracies that fail to ensure a secure future risk falling to populists with empty promises. Climate inaction isn’t just about today’s political costs — it’s a long game of economic and social collapse. If we keep ignoring the science, wars over resources aren’t a future threat; they’re an inevitability. But surrendering to despair isn’t an option. There’s still a chance to force real change, and we owe that fight to future generations.
