A plan to stop climate collapse in our current situation can be nothing less than a revolutionary plan. The necessary emission cuts to stop climate breakdown are incompatible with any sort of capitalist normality. This plan must overhaul a lot of the current social relations developed under capitalism, and create new ones. It means creating productive systems which are directly opposed to the interests of the current elites, which have chosen to crash civilization and the environment rather than abdicate any measure of their wealth and power.

    The AfD isn’t far right. Their position is almost exactly that of the CDU as of of 10-15 years ago, which makes them right-wing in the European political compass. In the US compass they would be considered left. That this article mentions this additional polarizing label means it is not trying to solve problems but contributing to them.

    We have about zero degrees of freedom left to prevent significant excess deaths this century and potentially loss of a technological civilization, potentially for good.
