Ever wonder what life would be like if the Climate Change extremists got everything they wanted, consider this absolutely-not-parody-article-in-a-mainstream-left-publication: North Korea: An Unlikely Champion in the Fight Against Climate Change.
As it turns out, starving your people to death and denying modern conveniences to all but a handful of political elites is exactly what Mother Gaia demands.
[Quoting from the article] “North Korea has strong incentives to fight climate change and its potential to erode government control. The fact that the nation has become more compliant over time suggests that the objectives of the international climate change regime coalesce with the survival imperatives of Kim Jong-un’s government.”
There you have it: a frank recognition of climate change policy as a tool for perpetuating tyranny. And the Climatistas wonder why conservatives don’t like them.
I think you mean “…(excepting a handful of political elites)…” I make the correction only because I believe it’s the most salient point: the goal of those intent on running things have no intention of making sacrifices and know they’ll never have to. I’m not afraid of the Earth-worshippers. I am afraid of those who consider them useful idiots.
Thanks, fixed
I consider lots of people useful idiots but not useful for western civilization. Environmentalists are called watermelons green on the outside commie red on the inside. Hardcore leftists like bath house Barry don’t just want to redistribute our wealth to illegal aliens but to the entire world. They want us to live as badly as those that never had any evolutionary pressure to build/plan/store.
You do realize that this is the route the left has planned for most of us. They have said it over and over….’we must reduce the population of the earth by 2/3s’. (that was Al Gore’s billionaire greenie friend, whose name escapes me at the moment)
You want environmental utopia, and you think North Korea is the answer, progs?
Fine. I’ll help you pack.
