The Culture Wars Reach A New Low

[Eric the Green]

I have debated climate change on a number of forums for a couple of decades, and the most consistent pattern among climate science deniers I have found, by far, is neoliberalism. As George Monbiot phrases it, anyone who says climate change is real, say the deniers, is "a communist trying to take your money away". Neoliberal free-market, Reaganomics ideology believers, mostly-Republicans, are against taxes and regulations, and removing regulations (again referring to Monbiot) is a big part of this, so that companies are "free" to extract fossil fuels without having to pay for the damage they cause, because then their profits will disappear. Neoliberalism is the biggest threat to our climate and to the living world.
