the government takes a decades long view

You mean four year term view? They dont give a shit about what happens next. If they did they would do something against climate change

Ah I wasn't clear. I don't mean government as in Democrats or Republicans. I mean government associations like US Army Corps of Engineers or the US Postal Service.

Maybe we should start a US Army Climate Battalion or something to sound cool and get funding ๐Ÿค”.

Iirc the military (American, of course) is actually prepping for climate change. They might be evil but they do have to acknowledge the reality around them if they want to keep bombing innocent civilians or whatever it is they are up to these days.
