Social and Institutional Reasons for Inaction

The Growth Credo

The prevailing ethos holds that growth is necessary and good for us. Governments continue to pursue economic growth at all costs, regardless of the patent environmental damage this is causing.

Consumerism

We have grown accustomed to wanting things we do not need through the power of commercial advertising (Naish 2009; Wallman 2015). This is summed up by Will Rogers, ‘Too many people spend money they haven’t earned to buy things they don’t want to impress people they don’t like.’ Consumerism is a necessary partner for the growth model of economics: Two for the price of one.  Buy one, get one free.  Mega-burger.  Buffet - eat as much as you like. Black Friday.

The Throw-away Society

The dominant, richer economies have moved from a society of conservation and respect for scarcity to one of massive waste creation. We are in the grip of neophilia, the mistaken belief that only what is new is of real value. Hence, there is a restless pursuit of more novelty. So, rather than repairing goods, we now tend to throw them away and acquire new ones, thus fuelling the growth model. But this ready availability of new goods blinds us to the environmental costs.

A Society of Massive Distraction and Info-glut

We are drowning in information. Commentators such as Williams (2018) have highlighted the change, from a society where information was valued because rare, to one where information is superabundant and where it is attention/concentration that is in short supply. The advent of the WWW and the Internet, together with the rise of the i-phone, exploited by the hegemony of a few global providers such as Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. has served to trivialise communication and provides endless fodder to distract almost everyone. We are exposed to ‘news’ 24/7 and to a barrage of mostly superficial ‘entertainment’. This makes clear and focussed thinking difficult. Are we literally ‘Amusing ourselves to death’? (Postman 1986). Waving while drowning? Have we literally ‘lost our minds’ or rather given them away?

Population growth plus aspirations

Human population growth is now approaching eight billion and is forecast to reach ten billion or more within a matter of years.(Emmott 2013). This places an ever-greater stress on available resources. And this is exacerbated by the quite understandable aspirations of poorer groups to attain the levels of consumption of the better-off populations.

Wealth disparity/Inequality

In a world where 1% of the global population is responsible for 20% of the pollution, where the top 10% of the global population owns or controls 85% of the total wealth, while the bottom 90% hold the remaining 15%, and where half of the world's net wealth belongs to the top 1%, and the top 30% of adults hold 97% of the total wealth, where the likes of Musk and Bezos can spend billions on a joyride into space while millions die of hunger, the argument for a fairer distribution of resources is indisputable. Yet, if anything, the super-rich get richer by the hour. And they are the ones who are despoiling the planet to the detriment of the majority of humankind.

Vested commercial and political interests

It is not in the interests of big business, nor governments that citizens should be well-informed and critically-inclined. Action to halt or slow climate change is highly uncongenial to the coal, oil, and gas lobbies. Everything is done to obstruct anything which threatens these interests. And in general, governments are complicit with or tolerant of big business.

Institutional power imbalance

The coercive power of governments world-wide makes protest difficult and often dangerous.  Top-down wins nearly every time. And governments do not take kindly to opposition. Such is the power of dominant groups that, however convincing their arguments and ideas, grass-roots movements rarely have the effect they deserve. Political and commercial expediency will most times trump rational decision-making based on the current observable effects of global warming.

Speed and acceleration

A number of writers have drawn attention to ‘the acceleration of just about everything’ (Gleick 1999; Honore 2010; McAlary 2017). Speed leaves ‘no time’ for thinking (Doerr 2021). IWIN (I want it now) is the rule. And this compulsion for immediacy goes hand in hand with a 24/7 world, which never stops for breath (Crary 2013).

The Competitive Drive

The market-driven economy requires that there be competition. Unfortunately for us, it is cooperation which is now desperately needed.

Words and Deeds

Those in political and commercial authority have a tendency to lull the public’s concerns with well-sounding pronouncements and reassurances. Often this is done intentionally to ensure that no action is taken. And even when statements are made with the best of intentions, they are rarely followed through with effective action. The 28 COP meetings of global leaders bear sorry testimony to this – summarised by Greta Thunberg as ‘Blah, blah, blah.’.

Centralisation

Power, influence, and commercial activity has become increasingly centralised, to the detriment of the local.

Mega world

Bigger has come to be accepted as better. And much of the world’s economy is now controlled by a few enormously powerful corporations (Schumacher 1993). Shopping is now dominated by the hypermarket and online providers such as Amazon and Wallmart. These corporations now exert political control over democratically-elected governments (Naughton 2021). Agriculture has likewise become dominated by larger and larger units to the detriment of small, environmentally-friendly family farms. Fishing is now the domain of gigantic, factory trawlers which literally hoover up fishes indiscriminately and unsustainably.

Groupthink

Groupthink (Janis 1972) describes the tendency of groups to think they are invulnerable through a process of collective rationalization and unquestioned belief that they are right about everything. This discourages creative thinking and tends to suppress self-awareness and alternative views.

Human Reasons for Inaction on the Impending Disaster

·       Pure ignorance.  Wot? Climate change?  Never heard of it.

·       Denial. It’s simply not true that it’s man-made.

·       Cognitive freeze.  The prospect is so terrifying, my brain has shut down.

·       Imaginative deficit. I can’t imagine the unimaginable.

·       Displacement.  This only happens to people ‘over there’.

·       Procrastination.  Scarlett O’Hara syndrome.  ‘I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow.’

·       Indifference.  Who cares? ‘Wot’s it got ter do wiv me?’ Zephaniah.

·       Shifting responsibility.  I’ll leave it to them to deal with.

·       Fatalism. There’s nothing I can do about it.

·       Defeatism.  It’s already too late.  We’ve had it, chum.

·       Opting out. What difference could little old me make?

·       Self-delusion.  Surely it can’t be that bad?

·       Massive distraction.   Duh… Let’s take a selfie.  How many ‘likes’ have I got today?

·       No time. I’m too busy, busy, busy …

·       Climate change fatigue.  Oh no!  Not climate change again…

·       Consumerist mind-set.  I want more and I want it now!

·       Carpe Diem.  Apres moi, le deluge.  Eat, drink and be merry (and throw the bottles in the river) – for tomorrow, we die.

·       Mistaking talk for action.  They talk :COP- out 2023.

·       Mistaking the immediate for the important.  Got to get to the shops before they close.

·       What about all the other issues?  What about war? What about inequality? What about …?

·       Compartmentalised thinking.  ‘What’s Global warming got to do with teaching English?’
