(Not exactly climate related but might explain some of how we got into our current climate mess.)

Also from goodreads... "When we avoid taking a decision, what happens to it? In The Unaccountability Machine, Dan Davies examines why markets, institutions and even governments systematically generate outcomes that everyone involved claims not to want. He casts new light on the writing of Stafford Beer, a legendary economist who argued in the 1950s that we should regard organisations as artificial intelligences, capable of taking decisions that are distinct from the intentions of their members."

Also a book excerpt from netinterest... "What do bad decision-making organizations have in common? Quite a few things, but one of the clearest signs is something you might call an “accountability sink”. This is something that might be familiar to anyone who has been bumped from an overbooked flight. There is no point getting angry at the gate attendant; they are just implementing a corporate policy which they have no power to change. But nor can you complain to the person who made the decision – that is also forbidden by the policy. The airline has created an arrangement whereby the gate attendant speaks to you with the voice of an amorphous algorithm, but you have to speak back as if to a human being like yourself. The communication between the decision-maker and the decided-upon has been broken – they have created a handy sink into which negative feedback can be poured without any danger of it affecting anything."
