Leftist logic 101.

I thonk part of the reason Lefties cling so desperately to their obviously ridiculous beliefs is that they can’t bring themselves to admit how totally they’ve been played.

Time Magzine’s “the big freeze” article was about the extreme winter of 1977. There has never once been a belief that were undergoing a “global cooling.” In fact your own right-wing gods at the Reagan administration were among the first to predict Global Warming and place some  blame on man-made pollution. Almost every effect predicted by their study has now come to pass or is underway as we speak, in most cases worse than they projected.

And when tf did communism come into this? Asking everyone to help solve a problem that affects everyone isn’t communism, communism is an economic system.

Well, a lot of solutions call for increasing taxes on big polluters, capping how much waste they can produce which would cap how much product they can make, and mandating improvements to energy usage. Billionaires who own these businesses don’t want to lose a day’s worth of their lunch money while their companies adjust to any such changes so they have spent years trying to convince the public that these things would count as “forced redistribution of wealth,” and that in turn would mean we would wake up a communist nation. Since this argument works on people who don’t know what any of it actually means, it has become the official go-to counterpoint of the right wing, for this issue and for any other they don’t like.
