Instead of semantics could you engage his argument that the climate left advocating for things like Defund the police and school class sizes is counter productive to fighting climate change.
On the substance, it's absurd to say that climate activists are leading to more emissions when you have Exxon lobbyists literally boasting they can veto any substantial change because they have Manchin & other Dem senators in their pocket. That's the reality Yglesias ignores.
I agree. However I would also like climate groups to focus on and prioritize climate and fighting those Dem Senators on climate. When you tie your movement to other(unpopular) causes it makes it easier to dismiss you.
Yglesias literally wrote that the public doesn't prioritize climate. If so, then it makes sense to tie it to other causes. My understanding is the public likes smaller class sizes.
