I wrote in my previous column that environmentalists are exploiting the climate-change issue to promote an illiberal political agenda. A common tactic of all leftist ideologies—fascist, socialist, or communist—is the suppression of dissent achieved by the censorship of free speech.
In keeping with that tradition, American greens and their progressive allies have been striving to silence anyone who dissents from their climate-change orthodoxy—i.e., the belief in imminent human-caused climatic disasters that can only be averted by radically retooling daily life and fundamentally restructuring and impoverishing society.
