I assume that you accept the scientific consensus that carbon emissions are indeed causing global warming and that this process, if allowed to proceed and increase unchecked, will put in question the survival of humanity. The question is therefore whether (1) we should speak the truth regarding this reality and (2) promote action to meet this danger.

Our capitalist rulers answer “no” and “no.” So, too, do some people on the left, and perhaps you are among their number. For a cogent reply, see Ian Angus’s article at

Seriously?

Look, I know you guys don’t want to deal with the fundamental contradiction in society (labor vs capital) and all this apocalyptic environmental rhetoric is just another way to do that.

However, don’t call your green austerity “socialist” – because real socialists believe in universal prosperity, not universal poverty.
