The shock predictions of the independent candidate for the US presidency are controversial, but there is a hint of logic.
Andrew Yang, an independent US presidential candidate with a technological vocation, advises to throw in the towel against climate change. His shock predictions suggest starting to adapt by moving to higher places.
Yang, speaking at a debate by the American Democratic Party, says in no uncertain terms that it is too late to prevent and reverse the catastrophic effects of climate change. Much better to abandon in good time the areas of the world that will soon flood as a result of rising sea levels.
It sounds quite bizarre as an idea - to contrast something by running away - but it is also the result of the fact that drastic changes of our planet are already underway, and will be increasingly tangible.
The combination of Yang's climate predictions with his proposal to give Americans 1000 dollars a month in unconditional income is curious.
"It's too late. It's been too late for 10 years, " Yang repeated several times during the debate. “We need to do everything we can to get the climate back in the right direction, but in the meantime we need to move the population further inland and higher up the planet.”
In other words, Yang's vision seems to be to provide people with a series of "economic resources" to ensure that they protect themselves from the effects of climate disaster. Possibly using that money to emigrate to mountain areas that do not run the risk of ending up under water.
I wouldn't have much more to add, except that I have rarely encountered such a balanced mix of lucidity and madness, wisdom and naivety.
After all, Yang's shock predictions may seem like madness. They probably are.
