So you can't see it either, but gut feeling

In other words - it exists in your imagination only.
Nonsense. Americas homeless problem was present years before the Ukraine war and it has made zero impact.
If Labour wants an energy transition in which working people don’t foot the bill, it has to address fossil fuel companies’ secret weapon against national climate laws: the energy charter treaty (ECT).
The treaty is a multi-country investment deal for the energy sector that contains the notorious investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS), a mechanism written into international agreements that companies can use to sue governments over policy changes they allege could affect their profits. The cases are heard in secretive tribunals outside the national legal system.
On 5 Septemberthe rebel Tory MP Chris Skidmore put forward an amendment to the energy bill to scrap Britain’s membership of this deal. While it didn’t pass, the government has formally announced it will consider leaving the “outdated” treaty if modernisation is not agreed by November. It is crucial that Labour takes the opportunity to outpace the government’s dithering, and comes out unequivocally for exit.
Starmer would hardly be going out on a limb: the ECT is already crumbling. Eleven countries, from Germany and France to Poland and Ireland, have decided to exit the treaty. Recently, the European Commission announced it was formally recommending a coordinated EU withdrawal.
The key question that Labour needs to answer when it comes to the green transition is: who pays? If the energy charter treaty and its archaic mechanisms of corporate power continue to restrict our move away from fossil fuels, then workers and taxpayers will be paying the polluters to phase out the projects that threaten a liveable future on our planet. That’s potentially billions in public money going to some of the most profitable companies on the planet. Where is the fairness in that?

"Who pays?" seems to be the burning question whenever the topic of a greener, cleaner, energy policy comes up for discussion.
We all do, if nothing is done to clean up the mess we're making of the global environment.

Where is any of that in Agenda 30? Stay away from the buzzwords...
I Left Out the Full Truth to Get My Climate Change Paper Published
Patrick T Brown @ the Free PressTo put it bluntly, climate science has become less about understanding the complexities of the world and more about serving as a kind of Cassandra, urgently warning the public about the dangers of climate change. However understandable this instinct may be, it distorts a great deal of climate science research, misinforms the public, and most importantly, makes practical solutions more difficult to achieve.
