    This is absolutely a dog shit example of math, but in no way is anyone involved at all employing capitalist understandings of anything.

    This entire study is a fiction designed to point the finger at a small subset of people.

        I think they’re arguing entirely from ideology, but that the ideology is not at all “pro capital”

          That’s a mischaracterization of what it means to argue from ideology. They only have to accept the idea that ownership of the means of production means ownership of the pollution from the means of production.

          Which is a. Very common and b. The only explanation through which this research makes sense without attributing malice.

            The research is just bad science and sought from the start to attribute climate change to as few people as possible.

            “Scientists say it’s your average joe driving to work who is killing the world” doesn’t sell.
