THEY’RE TESTING US: The Degrowth Movement & How Coronavirus Pandemic Helps Left Fight Climate Change

Glenn explains the Degrowth Movement which its proponents describe as “a political, economic, and social movement based on ecological economics anti-consumer, and anti-capitalism.” Defenders of the movement say the only way to defeat climate change fully is if the world stops working and industrial production (airlines, automobiles, fossil fuels) no longer exist. Well, we’re there, and those on the far left how are using today’s coronavirus pandemic to watch and measure us to see how much of their draconian policies we’ll take. They’re not hiding it either: countless politicians, leaders in academia, and members of the mainstream media have already said how COVID-19 and the lockdown are proving to be beneficial for the environment and for the fight against climate change.
