Idag vill jag uppmärksamma en observation av George Reisman:

Environmentalism and socialism are a match made in hell. Socialism (government ownership/control of the means of production) to prevent global warming will certainly achieve its inevitable result of a massive decline in living standards.

But thanks to environmentalism, that will be considered success! Environmentalism sets a standard of “success” that socialism can meet. Poverty is the goal of environmentalism. Socialism is certainly the means of achieving that goal.

Ja, detta förklarar varför de röda och de gröna kommer så bra överens.
