The climate crisis creates its winners – individuals who orchestrate environmental chaos and bet on the collapse of the world as they bet on declining share values.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the face of this veritable ‘carbofascist’ coup targeting humanity, modifying our behaviour as individuals won’t suffice.
