political system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">So Americans can be forgiven if they\u2019ve failed to dig into the nuts and bolts of the agenda items behind climate change. However, for those of us who <i>have<\/i> managed to muddle through the quote-unquote \u201cgreen\u201d energy ideas of the Left, we can tell you first hand that they\u2019d be better titled \u201cred\u201d energy policies (as in communism red).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Listen closely and you\u2019ll quickly realize that climate change, at-large, is a bit of a trojan horse.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">That\u2019s not to say climate change isn\u2019t real. It is. That\u2019s not to say we shouldn\u2019t be concerned with caring for the world around us and conserving resources, we should. What I am saying is that the climate initiatives pushed by progressives would rarely make a dent in actual climate issues, and instead simply target capitalism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Recently, teen puppet climate activist, Greta Thunberg, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/2022\/11\/02\/greta-thunberg-time-overthrow-wests-oppressive-racist-capitalist\/\" class=\"stylish-link\"><span class=\"s1\">said<\/span><\/a> that quiet part out loud.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">At an event in London, Thunberg <a href=\"https:\/\/unherd.com\/thepost\/greta-thunberg-throws-her-lot-in-with-the-anti-capitalist-left\/\" class=\"stylish-link\"><span class=\"s1\">blamed<\/span><\/a> climate change on a system of \u201ccolonialism, imperialism, oppression, genocide\u2026and of racist, oppressive extractionism\u201d carried out \u201cby the so-called global North to accumulate wealth that still shapes our current world order.\u201d She went on to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?app=desktop&#038;v=ropBOwPvmLM\" class=\"stylish-link\"><span class=\"s1\">say<\/span><\/a> that this system is, \u201cexploiting both people and the planet to maximize short-term profits for a few fortunates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Thunberg also called for a \u201csystem-wide transformation\u201d and said \u201cIf economic growth is our only priority, then what we are experiencing now should be exactly what we should be expecting.\u201d She repeatedly said we must move away from \u201cnormal\u201d to address the threats she sees the climate posing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Oh boy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">News outlets were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/2022\/11\/02\/greta-thunberg-time-overthrow-wests-oppressive-racist-capitalist\/\" class=\"stylish-link\"><span class=\"s1\">quick<\/span><\/a> to call out just how high-key crazy her categorization of capitalism was, and to lambast her utter lack of real solutions to the problems she unironically flies around raising the alarm on. On Twitter, Greta seemed to bristle at her media coverage from the event, but, she said what she said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The climate deniers and delayers are so desperate and feel so threatened that they simply make up their own \u201cquotes\u201d from pure lies and fantasies. This is what I have said about systems and ideologies: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FNacu4EYZv\" class=\"stylish-link\">pic.twitter.com\/FNacu4EYZv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Greta Thunberg (@GretaThunberg) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GretaThunberg\/status\/1587718877332529160?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"stylish-link\">November 2, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">Do you see how they attempt to target capitalism in their pursuit of climate justice while entirely ignoring policy solutions that would actually address real concerns (like, I don\u2019t know, quit flying around in private jets, or deregulate nuclear energy)?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">That\u2019s because, as I said, green energy is a trojan horse. Anyone who did even just a little digging would know that it is only thanks to capitalism that we care about the climate at all, and, that the most capitalist countries are actually the ones doing the most to combat it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Put simply, poor people don\u2019t have the time or energy to care about the climate. If you live in a developing nation where food is still scarce and you\u2019re just trying to get a roof over your head, you aren\u2019t sitting around thinking about the impact your coal burning fire might have on the environment, quite obviously. There is a hierarchy of needs and people cannot come to care about these kinds of long-term issues until their basic needs are met.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Capitalism has done more to lift people out of poverty than any other system known to man combined. In fact, 200 years ago, before the birth of capitalism, only around 60 million people in the world were not living in extreme poverty. Let that sink in. Since its implementation, that number has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/rainerzitelmann\/2020\/07\/27\/anyone-who-doesnt-know-the-following-facts-about-capitalism-should-learn-them\/?sh=44666dfd3dc1\" class=\"stylish-link\"><span class=\"s1\">increased<\/span><\/a> to over 6.5 billion, with a B. This is in spite of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/rainerzitelmann\/2020\/07\/13\/system-change-not-climate-change-capitalism-and-environmental-destruction\/?sh=1a67a72a6d72\" class=\"stylish-link\"><span class=\"s1\">significant<\/span><\/a> population growth at the same time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As <i>Forbes<\/i> reports here, once a country becomes wealthy under capitalism, it then has the means and time to focus on things like climate change\u2014which is why we actually see capitalist countries doing far more on this front than others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>\u201cYale University\u2019s Environmental Performance Index (EPI) uses 16 indicators to rank countries on environmental health, air quality, water, biodiversity, natural resources and pollution. These indicators have been selected to reflect both the current baseline and the dynamics of national ecosystems. One of the Index\u2019s most striking findings is that there is a strong correlation between a state\u2019s wealth and its environmental performance. Most developed capitalist countries achieve high environmental standards. Those countries with the worst EPI scores, such as Ethiopia, Mali, Mauritania, Chad and Niger, are all poor. They have both low investment capacity for infrastructure, including water and sanitation, and tend to have weak environmental regulatory authorities.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">So no, capitalism is not destroying the planet. In fact, it\u2019s the hero of this story to date. And the reality is capitalism could be doing a lot more to solve the climate problems we do face if the government and little Karens-in-the-making took their grubby hands off the free market and let it get to work developing nuclear energy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Greta may be young, but her ideas are old and played out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Like this article?
