Naomi Klein is one of the few Warmists who admit what one of the main reasons for the Warmist movement is: hard core Progressive values, which includes the central government taking over economic activity. She continues with this in a Grist interview, which is on the power of the fossil fuels divestment movement
Another point I would make, [about] carbon pricing, is that when we make the argument that this is a rogue sector (she means fossil fuels, to be clear), that their business plan is at odds with life on earth, we are creating an intellectual and political space where it becomes much easier to tax those profits, to increase royalties, and even to nationalize these companies.
So, theft of profits and theft of private property by The Government. She continues in the same paragraph
This is not just about the fact that we want to separate ourselves from these companies, it’s also that we have a right to those profits. If those profits are so illegitimate that Harvard shouldn’t be invested in them, they’re also so illegitimate that taxpayers have a right to them to pay for a transition away from fossil fuels, and to pay the bills for a crisis created by this sector. It’s not just about dissociating ourselves from their profits, but potentially getting a much larger piece of them.
Got that? Progressives, specifically mean The Government, who would then redistribute the money, have a right to those profits, despite having done nothing themselves. Except use evil fossil fuels themselves. The Warmist movement, as I’ve said time and time again, is about control: control of individuals, control of private companies, control of economies, which all includes things like higher taxes and fees, while accumulating massive power in the hands of the Central Government. Thanks to Naomi Klein for continuing to tell us what her Warmist brethren really want to accomplish.
Humorously, the same Warmists never seem to think all the power and control and taxes and fees will effect themselves.
