I don't think so. I do not see any sign that worsening environmental problems will go away.
what I do see is a flawed ets that was too complicated to get in, electorate/s that are not prepared to make hard decisions to deal with real problems, and political opportunism in an unprecedented form to complicate and wreck the need for crucial reform.
The lack of urgency about the global warming debate (around the world) may even suggest why we will now again struggle to meet other important needs such as housing.
Politics does appear to be about who can make appeal to the greatest number of voters to win the necessary seats. While I love democracy, I am worried about recent policy trends and the type of debate that is coming from both sides of politics now.
All i see is pain ahead, whether on the environment, or the standard of living as costs rise for housing, food and utilites.
