The oil giant Exxon knew about the negative effects of its industrial sector since the early 1970s through a self-commissioned study. What has politics done about this? They consequently paved the way for every step that contributed to accelerate and intensify the overexploitation of the planet! In view of the now unavoidable impacts, governments only felt obliged to address the issue through a steadily growing youth movement. Planned measures aim to be effective between 2030 and 2050, late enough to have no impact on the political or subsequent economic careers of the responsible politicians. Up to 70 years since knowledge was not only given away, but everything has worsened considerably. Instead of driving the cart head-on into the wall at 300 km/h, it is slowed down to 290 km/h.

In other words, because it makes more profit for the economy, we have got used to eating them. The cold-bloodedness of doing this to one's fellow human beings should be mentioned here as a thought-provoking suggestion, but not carried out. In order to prevent the damage from escalating uncontrollably, limit values have at least been set for substances of concern and have been made mandatory in regulations. Not only directly consumed substances (e.g. mercury) are affected, but also externally acting substances (e.g. nitric oxide NO²). What sounds like reasonable regulations for all sides, nevertheless has a loser. Because of its sacred position, everything dances to its tune, especially when obstacles stand in the way of its development. No, profit is not to be trifled with. If the economy starts its lament about the lack of development potential, politicians will stand at attention and thank them for the given instructions to adjust obstructive limits. Which of course means increasing and spitting in front of all scientific knowledge.
