      That’s right, I just imagined walking into a public library and borrowing four books today. And there’s no way that it would have cost 95% of the population of any country a year’s wages to get much worse books in any pre-capitalist system We’re better off. Objective fact.

      Not extinct yet! Personally, I think we have a good shot at making it a ways further, if we proceed pragmatically and don’t get too caught up in vague ideologies.

      Noah posted a fascinating article earlier today about how China emits more carbon than US and Europe combined. U.S. military is relatively insignificant.

      Yeah but carbon intensive production is as direct product of FDI, which as Malm describes "relocates factories to situations where labor power is cheap and disciplined". The problem is that the second requirement for large-scale manufacturing is a large scale energy grid

      Which means that investors allocate capital towards the most carbon intensive production because that production is at the most profitable confluence of infrastructure development and low labor costs (i.e. coal fueled production in the Pearl River Delta and Vietnamese SEZs).

      Replying to @Itmechr3 @yungneocon and

      This is a fair point. I concede that a lot of Chinese carbon can be traced to western demand, but I maintain that the US military is not nearly as significant as civilian and non-military industrial actors.

      Maybe about 20% of Chinese carbon emissions come from exports...

          Replying to @Noahpinion @marthsshinedair and

          There's two problems with the "China is the largest emmiter of CO2" thing, one is that China literally has 20% more people than the US and the EU combined and it's per capita emissions are less than half of the those of the US even before you consider that 20% of those emissions

          Sadly, the climate doesn't care about per capita emissions. Qatar has over twice the per capita emissions of the U.S., yet no one thinks that Qatar can even put a dent in climate change on its own. Only total matters, unfortunately.

          Replying to @Noahpinion @marthsshinedair and

          Look if, for example, a single person was emitting 40% of the world's CO2 this argument becomes completely absurd. It matters who emits the most greenhouse gases because bringing their levels of emissions in line with the rest of the world is the fastest way to reduce emissions

          Replying to @Itmechr3 @marthsshinedair and

          Not necessarily. Often that just makes coal and oil cheaper on the world market, allowing other countries to buy and burn more of it, so that their emissions replace the emissions reductions of the other countries.

          So you agree then that the climate change is inherently driven by market forces and that any solution requires their abolition?

          If you could establish a benevolent world government, sure, it could solve the problem.

          But, like, I don't think that's actually possible.

          I kinda suspected something similar, but I sometimes like to make minor concessions wherever I can in these kinds of arguments to show people that I’m operating in good faith and to remind them that it’s a good thing to be open-minded and receptive.
