If @AOC really thought that global warming was an existential risk to humanity, it would be worth solving even if the solution radically _increased_ economic inequality.
She obviously doesn't believe it's a true X-risk. For her, it's just a hammer for smashing capitalism.https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1111813477033787392 …

No. The two are not mutually exclusive. Letting big companies pollute freely is bad economic & environmental policy. Making average joe pay for environmental damage from corporations is bad economic & environmental policy.

It would be easier to just ask leftists if there is *any* political belief they hold that does not relate to inequality. We all know the answer is "no", because if it were "yes", then they couldn't accuse opponents of that belief of being "-ists" or "-phobes".

See, you're like the doctor who goes "but what are the odds that the patient has two rare cancers?" and ignores the fact that the patient actually has two rare cancers, because they are both caused by environmental exposure. Climate change and economic inequality are linked.
