Reply To: The Climate Emergency
Hi ALB,
I disagree with that article.
It only takes one mad man like trump to get into power and it can have the potential to reverse any progress we’ve made.
Furthermore even 2C to 3C will still create millions of refugees and wars.
Think the recent refugee crisis but times 100.
The relatively small refugee crisis Europe had because of the Syrian civil war was enough to bring near fascists into most European governments.
What do you think a much larger one will do?
This is why I think we as socialists need to warn people of the potential coming catastrophes and dangers of capitalism.
Capitalism has done this in the past by the way, before both the first and second world wars, it promoted things such as “tensions will work themselves out” and they highlighted treaties as examples, we all know where that led.
Also once the wars did break out much like with climate change, they will try to tell us “it’s not that bad”, as they say stuff like “over by Christmas”.
