From Dave Holtum, Bathampton, Somerset, UK
I was with you all the way in your leader on the need for change to tackle the climate emergency, and I also agreed with a lot of what Graham Lawton said in his article (p 40) about trying to make sure our pensions are invested in an ethical way that helps, rather than hinders, the drive to zero carbon Leader, 5 June.
But to suggest that “capitalism created climate change” is a step too far – people are responsible, not the economic or political system under which they exist. Attributing climate change to any particular “-ism” is a mistake and – partly, at least – absolves the individual from action.
