as with every contentious political issue, interesting bit of ideological whiplash toggling from the ‘top’ reactions to greta’s climate speech (curated by a small group of twitter employees) to the ‘latest’ reactions (from everyone else)

So do you not believe that capitalism has been a huge cause of climate change?
were capitalism responsible for environmental degradation the freest economies in the world would be the most polluted, which is of course absurd. on carbon alone, the us leads emission reduction. please read up on the environmental catastrophes of the ussr and communist china.

Population growth would be a result in increased emissions. Capitalism isn't at fault. The strongest and largest capitalist economy, America, is reducing emissions like Mike said. It's in the best interest of capitalistic ventures to be sustainable(reducing cost) & efficient

I'm not saying capitalism is entirely at fault. But there have been companies under capitalistic economies that have contributed to this climate crisis. I'm not trying to say the system itself is a problem but components of it are

I don't deny the role that countries like china have in contributing to this crisis, but bringing up how the us leads in emission reduction doesn't take into account the total amount of emissions they've contributed in the last 100+ years.
