A top carbon expert, James Cameron, emphasized that despite the financial crisis, the world still has the resources and capability to address climate change. He warned against using the financial crisis as an excuse to delay taking action on global warming. Cameron highlighted the recent mobilization of trillions of dollars as evidence of global cooperation in facing crises. He expressed concern that governments may prioritize short-term crises over long-term issues like climate change, but stressed that collaboration across borders can quickly mobilize capital to support market systems. He suggested that if governments were able to work together with the same level of cooperation and urgency in addressing climate change as they did in responding to the financial crisis, both issues could be effectively dealt with simultaneously. Despite concerns about the financial crisis depleting public funds and countries being hesitant to make commitments to address climate change due to potential economic costs and job losses, Cameron, a prominent investor in clean-energy projects, argued against focusing solely on short-term gains. He emphasized the importance of investing in long-term solutions to tackle a crisis that will have significant economic impacts in the future. Despite recent stock market declines, he believed that there is still capital available to invest in addressing the issue of climate change.
