Green Communism

Will it save the planet?

Centralized control of environmental emissions.

Communism isn't that - but I'm coming to the conclusion that some form of central global government is needed if we are to save our planet especially with idiotic places like Australia hell bent on churning out fossil fuels as they seem to be.

But that is being phased out as alternative sources of energy are being brought on stream. It is happening NOW.

Why call environmental protection "Communism" which has a negative ring to it as it stands for mass murder as in the case of Stalinist Russia? Using public investments for partly financing environmental projects is not Communism.

It's not. At least not unless carbon neutral is accompanied with other factors that must include a radical change to how we live.

These changes must be social changes as a result of HAVING to live within our environmental means and and technology changes such as rationing of power to our homes. That will mean hotter indoor summer temperatures and colder indoor temperatures which will not go down well with populations living in a currently air conditioned world.

And so very much more. Will it happen? It HAS to happen. There is no alternative. Will it go down well? No it will not but there is no alternative.

Maybe so but at a very slow rate. The latest figures I’ve been able to find are up to 2019 and according to them the figures for China are rising again and Russia hit an all time high in 2019

It can't be done overnight. China has a program that has been running for a while leading to zero carbon in 2060 and so far is on track.

But this is a thing that simply HAS to be done. There really is no alternative.

What I can see is the Americans going ape shit having to give up their cars and air con plus assorted rationing - probably more than any other Western nation. Goodness knows what that bunch of lunatics will do.

From Wikipedia.

Green Cross International was founded by former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.

Jack Mundey (deceased) was a member of the Communist Party of Australia.
