I don’t think there are valid criticisms of climate change that aren’t at the least materialist if not outright Marxist. Every other ideology can’t put on their grownup pants and admit where and what the problem is. The coldest reactionaries say “well I guess we hit the capitalism button until we transform into some kind of armed escape pod and shoot our way out.” The abundance libs meanwhile say “don’t be a monster, we’ll hit the capitalism button until it poops out some magical technology to fix the environment” as they continue to build between 50-99% of the armed escape pod infrastructure for the reactionaries. Between them the real pragmatic players of hard ball, steely-nerved, say “you’re both radical, we’ll hit the button and shoot our way out if we have to, only as a last resort if that magic shit doesn’t work.” They agree with and contribute to 50-99% of the infrastructure the reactionaries inevitably will rely on.

All three will accuse you of magical thinking if your solution involves not hitting the capitalism button.

So if you recognize the scale and scope of the problem and the role of capitalist production in creating it you only have one direction to go.
