        The current capitalist system of production is linear and does
        not account for the environment
      - Principles of Capitalism induce the tragedy of the commons
        
        Climate Change (as a result of capitalist production and consumer consumption)
        
        Current rates of increases in Carbon dioxide in parts per million average around the 300 ppm mark and now with discoveries from NASA and the IPCC we are above the 400 ppm mark
        
        There is data that shows since the industrial revolution there have been exponential increases in the amount of fossil fuels used within the atmosphere
        
        Despite the alarming increases in carbon dioxide levels the consensus in the capitalist United States is unclear on if the recent changes in climate are from fossil fuels
        
        Corporations and energy companies fund politicians and advertise against the awareness of changes in the climate to keep consumers in the dark
