> The consequences of communism or totalitarianism are well known and have recent precedents for how bad they will be. Climate change is an unknown, but throwing ourselves into the hands of a dictatorship (and that's what a lot of people are advocating, we're already seeing dictatorial rules in the name of climate) we know what will happen.
It's a very popular culturally infused meme, but not really. There are levels of "authoritarianism"...for example:

> People need to stop using climate change to push a political agenda (which is literally all that's done) and get behind building nuclear and carbon capture.
People might benefit from wondering what needs to be done, rather than assuming that their intuition is correct. If we don't desire to know what is true, we may never reach it.
