In the worldview of the elites gathered in Davos this January for the World Economic Forum’s 2023 meeting, the world's crises call “for bold collective action.” Of the ongoing crises calling for such action, climate change unsurprisingly made the top of the list.
“While a global energy transition is under way, further action is needed to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change,”Prescriptions include “decoupling economic growth from energy consumption” and “mainstreaming breakthrough technological innovations and addressing equity,” as well as using other crises “to develop more ambitious, comprehensive, and sustainable infrastructure investment plans that [help] the world to meet the 2030 targets.
Despite being out of touch to the point of being buffoonish, they have an inflated sense of self-importance, as exemplified by John Kerry when heto himself and his audience as a “select group of human beings” who assembled to “talk about saving the planet,” prior to referring to the mere thought of what they were doing as “extraterrestrial.”
When they do give the world a glimpse of their plans for collective action, these plans would appear to entail fundamentally altering key aspects of business and society regardless of whether anyone other than their “select group of human beings” actually wants to see these changes enacted.
