This is simply wrong. In the midst of the economic crisis countries and people are working to solve the climate crisis.

That said, let's please keep this focused on the point which was Buying Grades and School Administrators that are in favor of the idea. That school administrator is not "fighting for survival in a Darwinian battle" nor was she under economic stress -- but she certainly had no ethics or sense of what was right. That is the trigger for my initial comment which was directed at society in general and what I see as an increasing loss of caring, morals and understanding of right and wrong and acting on those beliefs. For me it is clearly wrong to "Buy Grades" perhaps you think otherwise.
