EcoMaoism is the synthesis of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought with radical environmentalist and animal liberation ideologies. We uphold that animals are exploited and deserve the same liberations that the workers would have under communism. We are also against sources of pollution, deforestation, and climate change. We are not western liberals, We are green tankies!

How do we adapt to climate change? (lemmygrad.ml)

I am a climate realist. It has become apparent to me that the worst will be inevitable in the coming years and that climate change will take decades to reverse so my take is that climate policy should also prioritize adapting to this phenomenon while we still can.

We can look at hot dry regions in the past in order to learn how to deal with the heat while still conserving energy.

I think the best way to deal with this would be to replant more trees to help the environment regulate itself, but in the current Anthropocene era all solutions provided are just green capitalism which is unlikely to ever put a dent into the problem and the bourgeoisie will not give up land to become forested areas. It would be possible to move the current population into larger denser cities to always keep more land available for wooded areas (And this would probably increase the standards of living since rural areas are so neglected) but this is even more radical than just planting more trees at the expense of land that some millionaire could use to build another Wal-Mart or crappy Amazon warehouse.

We need a bit more uh... Oomph than that. I say make building absorb less heat in the hot days while keep us warm in the colder ones will still conserving energy.

There is tons more we could do besides reforesting actually. If we stop using plastics, use more renewable forms of storage, increase access to plumbing so water in cans is not so much of a necessity, it would greatly help the pollution we get. Obviously fossil fuels and car usage is huge, but if we put all the population in cities the issue of cars would have to work itself out and we would probably end up with walkable megacities, with cars reserved for rural people who actually need to travel like that.

stop using plastic

As in for disposable ones?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but even the non-disposable ones don't always seem ideal to be honest. Plastic in clothes makes an issue when it ends up being burned in landfills in Africa.

Yeah. Maybe plastic should be reserved for shit like phones. I miss this that's made with long lasting materials like wood.
