Funny how Warmists so often recommend the destruction of capitalism in favor of hard left authoritarian governmental economic systems. Here’s Jeff Sparrow at the UK Guardian
Climate change is a disaster foretold, just like the first world war
(you’ll need to read the first 2/3rds yourself for full context)
From a global perspective, the necessity to abandon fossil fuels cannot be denied. But for individual economies, change risks undermining comparative advantages.
If we don’t sell coal, says Malcolm Turnbull, our competitors will – which was, of course precisely the logic of the British fleet expansion in 1908.
The devastation of the first world war eventually engendered a wave of revolt from a populace appalled at the carnage their politicians had wrought.
Climate change has not yet spurred an equivalent of the mutinies in France or the revolution in Petrograd or the uprising in Berlin.
Yet Labor’s appalling equivocation over the Adani mine – a piece of environmental vandalism for which there can be no justification – illustrates the urgency with which we need a new and different type of politics.
The stakes could not be higher. Lamps are going out all over the natural world … and no one will ever see them lit again.
Funny, the UK Guardian wouldn’t be operating without capitalism.
As Eric Worrall points out
Perhaps pseudocryptic demands for a “new and different type of politics†is what fanatics do when they realise ordinary people have stopped listening to their ranting.
Pretty much.
