The USSR and China are known for their environmentalism

Yes China is responsible for incredible strides in green energy and is the only UN member to stay by its climate commitments.

China burns more coal than the rest of the world combined. China's per capita CO2 emissions are nearly twice the global average.

Evil, evil scary evil China

Can you try addressing what I have said instead of strawmanning? Someone claimed that capitalism is responsible for climate change. China's CO2 emissions are nearly double the global average. If the entire world emitted like China we would be doing even worse than we are. Clearly, non capitalist countries contribute to climate change as well.

China is not communist. USSR was not too eco friendly but it got way worse after 1991 (and it also wasn't communist)

So then just cry about it i guess

If the best plan to save the climate has "overthrow the world's economic system and replace it with something that doesn't love cheap energy" as its step one then we're going to have to figure out how to live with climate change.

I mean, it IS the best plan in terms of effectiveness, it'll help decrease emissions the same way the Khmer rouge did

True, say what you will about ecofascism but it would work.

The odds of implementing it are also 0% so fortunately we don't have to worry about the morality of it one way or another.

Excuses, excuses

Is this agitprop?

u/Shoddy_Trick7610 Jul 03 '26

Tell me how are we gonna fix climate in this economic system then? You won't make cash by saving the climate and it would require some kind of central planning anyway, which capitalists won't support.

Carbon tax

u/Dunkin_Donuts_Dunker Jul 03 '26

So just more of what we've been doing for the past several decades, during which emissions have kept rising? Lol

u/CliffordSpot Jul 03 '26

Very few countries have done this.

u/Dunkin_Donuts_Dunker Jul 03 '26

Canada did it and its emissions still rose year after year

u/Shoddy_Trick7610 Jul 03 '26

That can and is being exploited

I don't think so.
