    Does compromise with a death cult ever work? Whether they’re racists, fascists, religious zealots, capitalist profiteers, or any other group that devalues human life, it doesn’t seem like compromise works or is even a possibility.

      Really? Ancient civilizations didn’t much value human life. They didn’t emit much CO2 at all. They’re very much two separate things.

      As I said to another person here, most of the neo-liberal governments of the world are very much trying to cut emissions. They value human life much more tham ancient civilizations or modern communist countries have.

        Speaking of separate things, my post was about compromise, not CO2 emissions, but don’t let that get in the way of your enlightened capitalist proselytizing. Neo-liberal governments are setting goals that are convenient to capital (i.e. too little too late) while failing to even hit those goals and also bending rules (e.g. we reduced emissions by moving polluting manufacturing overseas, as if the pollution is not happening on the same planet).
