#2Its like with accidental pregnancies or software complexity. People love the nice things "at the front" and prefer to ignore the tail of liabilities coming with it.

#3Coming from the UN, we already know what the answer will be.
More governance, more/better management of risk by the UN that is then delegated to its administrative regions (the US, EU, etc). This is because as long as we are talking about risk, this plays into the hands of a global governance structure. All risks should be planned for and managed - I mean the covid response was fantastic, right? What was wrong was not enough governance, of course.
But what about the risk of a corrupt global governance structure? If you think "democracy" was bad (where you vote once every 4/5 years, for someone else to represent you for that time), how much worse will it be if global policies are rolled out to everyone with no vote at all? Where if you disagree on what stakeholders (corporations, government and NGOs) have in mind for you, you're on your own. Which is where we are already..
No to a global tyrannical system - thanks. Next.
I think the best way to manage risks is to roll back the mega governance structures, ignore or undo government diktats. Put power in hands of local people, and no I don't mean implementing the UN cookie-cut 'local sustainable development plan' templates that we are all getting. Can we discuss that? Of course not - imagine a government arguing for less government!!
I want less government in every way - let local people decide for themselves what they want to do. In fact, we could have that today, if people stopped listening to these ridiculous self-authorising "authorities".

I stopped respecting the UN when they said they criticized Elon Musk for not giving them 6 billion dollars so that they could "solve world hunger". That's about as much as the state of Sweden donates to poverty every single year, and that is just Sweden alone. The total amount of charity donations worldwide is in the trillions of dollars yet there's always just more required. Bureaucrats with humanities degrees at the UN don't solve problems, if they were solved, their jobs would be purposeless.
And yea, I know they releasased a "plan" showing how they would split the 6 billion to different areas and stop world hunger 2022. Amazing work!

If one time donation of 6 billion would be enough to solve the hunger I think the nations with hungry in them could easily lend this much money and solve it once and for all. That would certainly have net positive ROI in long run for them.

They were incredibly disingenuous about the Elon Musk thing.
He said he'd sell $6bn of Tesla stock and donate it if they could provide an open source plan to completely solve world hunger.
They said they'd written a private plan to reduce world hunger then criticised him for not making the donation.
Whatever you think of Elon, I don't think he acted in bad faith here.

#8Don't worry. Economic activity primarily happens indoors so it isn't affected.

I agree with you but I'm easily swayed by liberal propaganda.
What's your opinion on unions?

> let local people decide for themselves what they want to do
- use leaded petrol
- build fridges using HCFCs
- burn trash
This stuff had to be forbidden by the government to make it stop. The UN might be some corrupt stuff, but the point of reducing government at all is nonsense. People on their own won't stop doing harmful things if they dont suffer the consequences themself.
