Now if we can just convince conservatives that pollution is bad, and needs to be reduced, we could get somewhere.
Not gonna hold my breath…

It’s strange that conservatives are so against conserving nature

Bewildering, consider how many of them like to hunt and fish. Maybe they just like killing?

Nah, they unironically complain about there being less game and less fish and how sucky that is.

“Those libr’l policies are choking our rivers and ruining our hunting spots into apartments and toxic waste dumps!
Oh, and I vote ‘Yes’ to defund the EPA”

Yeah it's an interesting idea, first I've heard of it. "We'll help out your economy big-time by restructuring your debt, but you have to spend X amount of what we've saved you on conservation". I wonder what the enforcement mechanism on that is. It seems like something that might appeal even to conservatives in those countries.

Anyone interested in this concept and economic solutions to conservation (and some good sci-fi) should check out Ministry of the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson.

Whoever wrote that title must've been pretty disappointed they couldn't keep that alliteration going.

This is what someone else said about this article and it's accurate.
It's a long article with photos and graphs but worth a read.
In a nutshell - refinance sovereign debt at more attractive rates freeing up the savings for conservation efforts.
Now this to me sounds like something worthwhile.
It's a start and that is what we need in a lot of places.
Early days for sure but still positive.
