Um, do you really believe they aren’t linked?
I think they’re saying that’s why she lost the spotlight.
That’s part though I believe the CO2 output of the USSR when it existed strongly suggests the issue is overconsumption and industrialization.
The USSR stopped existing in 1991, by which point climate change wasn’t taken nearly as seriously as it is today. Now that it is taken seriously, capitalism hinders or entirely prevents serious action from being taken because it puts power in the hands of the people who directly benefit from polluting the atmosphere. I mean how many times have you seen “oil lobby kills climate bill” in a headline?
The fact that it ended in 1991 is why I mention “while it existed”.
The fact remains a counter example of a non-capitalist economy that drove climate change on a massive scale exists so you cannot blame capitalism as easily as industrialization.
Which are two things capitalism thrives on.
No because industrialized economies that were not capitalistic have also significantly contributed to climate change in the past (The USSR primarily).
The real issue is overconsumption and industrialization and we would see climate change regardless of the ideology regulating the economy provided it was industrialized.
And yet emissions got worse, and capitalism is making advertisements to over consume everything. One is not isolated from the other.
Also, kinda weird to suggest that industrialised economies were not capitalistic…
Don’t blame people for what capitalism has done all on its own.
Why did you ignore the first paragraph entirely as that’s kind of the point of my post? The USSR was the second largest contributor to climate change after the USA when it existed.
Because Russia is a capitalist nation, with a healthy mix of Putin’s dictatorship thrown in for good measure.
To deny that, simply because Russia says they operate under socialist gov’t, is to be blind to the truth.
THE USSR IS NOT RUSSIA.
THE USSR WAS A HUGE CONTRIBUTOR TO CLIMATE CHANGE.
IT IS NOT CAPITALISM THAT IS THE PROBLEM BECAUSE AN OVERCONSUMING COMMUNIST NATION WOULD HAVE THE SAME RESULTS
Russia never stopped being capitalist. They had a communist party for a period, but actual communism was never achieved.
The USSR is not Russia
And yet people from the USSR are the ones leading Russia.
