More On The "Donor Money"/HEQ Hoax

At Ace's place.

This tweet gets right at the heart of pomo-prog climate pseudoscience:

One huge drawback of nuclear power is that it doesn’t dismantle systems of oppression - it only produces clean energy. This makes it unsuitable for solving the climate crisis, which isn’t just about the environment. https://t.co/tkgWSCWbQK pic.twitter.com/Qjw3O9lm8y

Is he serious? I mean, it's a leading view among the vanguard of the pomo-prog left. The Green New Deal was not written as a climate bill, but as an economic one. Needless to say, this is why so many people say: I'll believe in climate apocalypticism when those promulgating the view start believing in it. You can't say both of the following: 

(a) Climate change is such a catastrophe that we must put all other considerations behind it.

(b) It's not enough for a policy to mitigate climate change--it must also address "social justice."

In actual fact, of course, it's "social justice" goals that are primary. Climate change is mere stalking horse.
