Earlier in my life I was a libertarian, a viewpoint that I maintained until I realized the truth in what Naomi Klein say at left.  In the absence of government regulation, corporations, whose sole duty is to turn a profit for investors, would turn this planet into a hellscape in a matter of just a few years.

And now, given what we know about climate change, part of that “hellscape” is an Earth that features droughts, desertification, ferocious storms and floods, loss of landmass, food shortages, ocean acidification, and loss of biodiversity.
