I was highly amused by the piece by a supposed “denier”, because we all call ourselves that (sic). And then there’s the reality that the article is on the very far left TruthOut. And, really, how many on the left are already believers in Hotcoldwetdry, and have always been? Much like warming over the past 15+ years, the number would be statistically insignificant
I suppose it wasn’t really until I was standing on the west side of Hoboken, N.J., in water and oil up to my thigh, that climate change really made sense. And it wasn’t until I was out organizing on New York City’s outer beaches after Hurricane Sandy that I understood my sluggishness on climate justice was nothing short of climate change denial. (Snip)
Unfortunately, there is a lot of truth to this story: The crisis is gargantuan, and it’s getting worse. Ultimately only a fundamental social, political, economic and personal transformation is going to get us out of this mess.
Does this hardcore progressive writing make you think that the writer, Yotam Maron, used to not be a Believer in AGW? Reading further, it seems that he was more of a “eh, this isn’t my issue” rather than a non-believer. But, now he is, and wants Everyone Else to believe and to kill Keystone, stop using fossil fuels, etc.
Progressives love lying about who they are. Marin was big into the Occupy movement. A big community organizer. All sorta of lefty stuff.
