*A long earnest thread*
Here, @GrogsGamut argues that reflexive centrism undermines climate action - I agree! 😆
Unfortunately Greg also:
- makes misleading claims re climate science.
- defends radicalism against 'reason' as he critiques @DrCraigEmerson's call for moderation 😟
The false claim? Its one you see everywhere. Greg writes: "Thirteen months ago the UN issued a report that concluded we have 12 years to do something to limit climate change, after which it will be too late to keep the rise in temperatures below 1.5C."

This is an excellent article on eco-fascism and far-right terrorism. But @jason_a_w's concluding call for a "democratic, just, and global response to climate change" that leaves no room for fascism also points to a bigger question? 1/7
What happens when the more 'mainstream' ethno-nationalist right takes climate change seriously? One possibility is global apartheid, militarised borders, and state control of women's reproductive rights, via @CaseyWillyumsjewishcurrents.org/what-happens-w… 2/7
