I wonder when global governments wake up and realise they are sawing the branch they sit on, at this rate i shudder when i think of my kids and their future.

There is no global government. The world is highly fragmented. Most countries themselves are highly fragmented. Even some countries that would have you believe otherwise.

Also, we are too used to the concept of superpowers being countries. That's no longer the case. While countries can still be superpowers, so can corporations. We already have corporations that could fund some of the world's biggest armed forces, but so far they have had no reason to. This isn't a new concept either, think back to the way the British Empire colonised/invaded India for example.

I agree, i guess i meant to say the governments of the world when i said that, but you articulated important points- corporations are really becoming bigger than governments and thats not good for the future

They already have noticed many decades ago It's just that profit comes first since the people in charge won't really feel the worst of the change while currently making bank from lobbying

People ordering seafood are in charge.

In this case I'd rather blame everyone else for their emissions as the complete disappearance of food sources is linked to climate-induced migration of species.
