      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 …

      Or, she sees both climate change and inequality as risks to human well-being, and wants to find solutions that solve both problems.

      The likelihood that two vast and disparate problems (climate change and economic inequality) just happen to be optimally solvable by the _same_ policy interventions is negligible. She has to prioritize and solve the X-risk; the other is relatively minor in terms of human welfare.

          I agree that she should probably pursue a Green Deal and a New Deal separately. I'm just saying I don't think she's insincere about climate change.

          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.

          EXCUSE ME? Climate change in Africa. Middle East, even south central Asia is DIRECTLY linked to famine, drought, and displacement. If that latter trio isn't closely associated w/ "economic inequality," it's very close. Aren't you a bit out of your lane? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_Miller_(psychologist)#Human_cognition …

          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".

          That's one reason many are pushing for a carbon dividend.

          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.
