The new urgency of climate change
Summary
By reading the story, almost all my questions are solved. Probably, l live in Japan thus l didn’t realize because there are many things that aren’t announced.

1, In the world, the coronavirus kills many people and infected people are increasing now. We haven’t known when we can get vaccines yet.
In Japan, hospitals still have many beds for patients luckily and the number of deaths is low, however, people don’t try to work. The economic situation is worst, though, demonstrations don’t happen but the opposite demo to the world happened. People have stopped people’s moving to stop the infection.

2, The Japanese prime minister said many times during coronavirus season, “Protecting employment was important”.
However, many people lost their job because of coronavirus and economic standstills. Furthermore, technology is growing. Soon, for cars trains, buses, convenience stores, and etc. people won’t be necessary to work as robots work. Air is clean outside, there are no traffic jams, there are a few people on the trains, it’s comfortable, there are no overtime works and long time meetings in the office. Some people can get assurances and supports when they lose their job. I don't think that employment could be protected.

3, Before lockdown and stay at home, people rush to buy toilet papers, much food, and masks. However, for producing those, we use huge energies. When we have a problem that is about coronavirus this time, we always forget about energies.
Japanese energies situation is worst as well. Our land is small, thus using wind and solar energy is difficult. We buy high-cost fossil fuel because nuclear energy is dangerous, people love cheap priced products, though, for fossil fuel, using much tax is not announced.

The story tells us that wind and solar energy can decline costs for manufacturing, transportation, and agriculture. It can create employment and decreasing carbon emissions. Not only Japan but the world are, in fact, subside fossil fuels at ridiculous amounts. Petroleum (oil) is exhausting but nuclear energy is dangerous. We can understand what energy is. It should be renewable and sustainable.

4, The most important thing is to think about the crisis of modern capitalism. During coronavirus, many people say that
socialism must be important because in China, coronavirus could stop soon and the economy is increasing, though, l didn’t understand it. The correct answer is to change the form of capitalism. Capitalism is at the base of every successful economy. It balances supply and demand. Just now we ignore the values. It means that measuring the way is not only the GDP. Our thoughts are investment education, health care, mental health care, family services, grand waters, resources are important. Changing those can create better capitalism and democracy. It must lead to decreasing inequality.

5, Because of capitalism unrelenting growth is not the climate crisis. The only way to go forward is to regulate, to force businesses to do the right thing. The generation wants a nice income, but they want to do something more than just making money.

P.S. The speaker is a Democrats and a Climate advocate. Trump is a Republican. The story tells us that young Republicans are demanding a change in climate policy. I love Trump but I don't like the Japanese Minister of the Environment who is young as a politician, though, the election will be held this November. OMG.
