    It has everything to do with human industry.

    These viruses exist in nature for eons and its not until we human does something stupid it gets messy.
    Eating bats or levelling the rain forests and coming into contact with previously untouched wildlife.
    Or simply by living a lifestyle that attracts disease-carrying rodents, like rats and deer mice.

    Our continued assault on the natural world will only release more and more of these viruses. I wish we could just clean up our f*cking act.

    With planes grounded, rampant consumerism halted, wet markets closed hopefully, wildlife coming back into cities, pollution way down etc. she's probably delighted. Maybe she released the virus herself.

    Wow, it's more serious than I thought. Or maybe it's a bit of hyperbole.. :D

    Nature isn't a thinking being with an intent.
    Gaia doesn't exist (or Terra if you're into the Roman pantheon)

    COVID-19–a virus that has been attributed to human interferences such as deforestation, encroachment on animal habitats and biodiversity loss

    Hthe author is far more educated than you. Climate Justice requires a profound readjustment of society. 're-education to facilitate the eradication of toxic masculinity will be one of its main aims.
    Sounds like something from the Khmer rouge. I think a lot of this climate justice stuff and anti male agenda come from mental illness, or at least it attracts a lot of mentally ill people.

    Why is it that every time one of these articles is put up that the author is always a lifelong academic who speaks at socialist political events, retweets NGOs with links to socialist political parties and contributes to papers pushing socialism as the saviour of the earth ?

    Because you apply the label 'socialism' to all views you dislike?

    Ironic is'nt the term....funny really that as things develop these "lifelong academics" appear to sound far more Nationally Socialistic than thos ethey often rail against.....:(

    Or is it that socialisms long reaching tentacles wrap themselves up in a specific set of agendas because they realise people are wise to the ills of socialism by name so seek to bring it in through the back door. My entire consistent claim that greta and her ilk are puppets for an agenda which only offers socialism as the solution to any given crisis, when its very clear that the cure is worse than the disease in that case.

    ocourse Im flattered that you think I have the amazing power to hook up socialist politics and all these "academics" and let their connections simmer just to point it out on an Irish discussion forum months or even years later.

    So in other words, yes - all views you dislike are deemed socialist - and all people who have such views, you see as being part of a gigantic hidden conspiracy.

    You have a habit of deliberately lying about what I've said, including the bolded bit above - which you've been called out on multiple times before - and when asked to back that up, you balk and make a pissy/condescending post dismissing the need to back it up. So: Back up that bolded quote - link to a post saying precisely that, and quote sentences in full.

    Your tactic is to lie about what a poster has said, in order to make up a hit-and-run false claim of hypocrisy - and to use that false claim of hypocrisy, to defend what that poster is arguing against.

    Here you are defending posters labelling everything as 'socialist' with a false claim of hypocrisy.

    At the same time, you are defending posters posting of propaganda tied to Koch think tank's (among others) - the most well known climate denial propagandsts on the planet - by ignoring the possibly 100+ times people have cited such propaganda, and pointing exclusively to people calling out that propaganda.
