The future that eco-fascist demorats desire.

limate change activism is increasingly the domain of the young, such as 16-year-old Greta Thunberg, the unlikely face of the school strike for climate movement, which has seen many thousands of children walk out of school to demand that their parents’ generation takes responsibility for leaving them a planet to live on. In comparison, the existing political establishment looks more and more like an impediment to change. The consequences of global warming have moved from the merely theoretical and predicted to observable reality over the past few years, but this has not been matched by an uptick in urgency. The need to keep the wheels of capitalism well-oiled takes precedence even against a backdrop of fires, floods and hurricanes.
Today’s children, as they become more politically aware, will be much more radical than their parents, simply because there will be no other choice for them. This emergent radicalism is already taking people by surprise. The Green New Deal (GND), a term presently most associated with 29-year-old US representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has provoked a wildly unhinged backlash from the “pro free market” wing, who argue that it’s a Trojan horse, nothing more than an attempt to piggyback Marxism onto the back of climate legislation.
The criticism feels ridiculous. Partly because the GND is far from truly radical and already represents a compromise solution, but mainly because the radical economics isn’t a hidden clause, but a headline feature. Climate change is the result of our current economic and industrial system. GND-style proposals marry sweeping environmental policy changes with broader socialist reforms because the level of disruption required to keep us at a temperature anywhere below “absolutely catastrophic” is fundamentally, on a deep structural level, incompatible with the status quo.

In fact there was never supposed to be a drop of precipitation again and this time the drought was the new normal!!!!!!!
AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where’s Sam Kinison when you need him :)
You live in Syracuse?
Cool :)
End capitalism, China is such a environmental savior.
When they get Total Communist Control they’ll tell you there was no such thing as Global Warming , Ha Ha
“”GND is far from truly radical””
THE SKY IS FALLING!! Oh! my goodness - THE SKY IS FALLING!! Whatever are we going to do? QUICK - to the bunkers! I guess we may as well accept that some people are just so gullible that they will go along with anything and everything - especially if it gives them the opportunity to put down others!!! They want to call us “global warming deniers” while they are pooh-poohing the former organizer of Green Peace who tells them they are all wet - bonkers - nuts - whackos!!!
I refuse to use the term “climate change” BECAUSE yes - surprise - climate DOES change and unless you live in a cave, it’s right in front of your very eyes every single day!
With the mass leftist indoctrination in our universities, I wouldn’t be so sanguine.
AOC and her fellow graduates are the leaders of tomorrow. Its going to happen sooner than later.
Bernie almost won the Democrat nomination. Time for people to wake up.
The future that eco-fascist demorats desire.
Home of Carrier Air Conditioners. Well, used to be anyway.
They predicted no snow in the Cascades and Sierra Nevada ten years ago and they are getting record rain and snowfalls.
Why should we fall for the same hoax?
When they get Total Communist Control, reporting on global temperature will be illegal.
There is only one way to ensure the end to global warming: a full-scale nuclear war with India and China that leads to a nuclear winter. Anything else is not enough.
The Guardian has always been about “ending capitalism.”
Same old shit-sandwich, just now with green, eco-friendly bread.
Climate change is just a vehicle.
The end of capitalism is the goal.
What it really means is a totalitarian world government that will literally control your entire life, from where you must live and work and forced abortions to reduce the population.
Exactly.
I have thought that the future “divide” will be between our children and our senior adults (of whom I am one).
These children strikes in Europe show this is true.
Very terrifying.
Tom,
The “green” socialists just changed the terminology from “global warming” to “climate change” because of the bad press that everyone feared “global cooling” in the 70s.
With “climate change” whether the planet gets hotter or colder, the commie-vironmentalists can claim a “win.”
G-F
End capitalism? Not until Leonardo DiCaprio and Al Gore give up their private jets, mansions, and yachts.
More than that. Before some compulsory new system is demanded on all of us first lets see the leftists/Marxists give up;
-cars
-airplane travel
-all meat
-half again more of their money going to the government
Nothing is keeping these ‘Chicken Littles’ from walking the walk they are going to require of us all.
So once we’re taxed at 90% and the powerful government controls everything climate change will be done?
“”would not snow in CA after 2020.””
We’re not there yet, are we?
