The neoliberals won't take that seriously until it impacts them personally, and the SJWs don't think about issues like that. So another, more science based phalange will have to emerge, be taken seriously and gain power, or AGW will become a crisis far too early. Society needs some down time to regroup, and COVID-19 is still the crisis de jure.
Wait... aren't the SJWs obsessed with global warming? I already see Environmentalism replacing Inclusivity as the most important Leftist idea, Eric surely will agree.
Sure, but SJWs per se are usually more concerned with social justice issues; it's in the name. But many SJWs I know are pushing intersectionality, combining the two issues. AGW and pollution have greater negative impacts on communities of color, for example, as does COVID. And the power of the oligarchy is responsible for both issues. So, we'll see how far the combo goes. Bernie certainly pushed this.
2T visionary Murray Bookchin already combined them, influencing the new age and green counter-cultures. He wrote:
“Whatever has turned human beings into “aliens” in nature are social changes that have made many human beings “aliens” in their own social world: the domination of the young by the old, of women by men, and of men by men. Today, as for many centuries in the past, there are still oppressive human beings who literally own society and others who are owned by it. Until society can be reclaimed by an undivided humanity that will use its collective wisdom, cultural achievements, technological innovations, scientific knowledge, and innate creativity for its own benefit and for that of the natural world, all ecological problems will have their roots in social problems.”
