re: #266 Obdicut

One of the very few problems I have with pro-worker agitation is the attitude of “no negotiation on increasing the cost of energy, fossil fuels etc. until fair(er) distribution of wealth is achieved”, which you see some people take when environmental policy is discussed.

I personally think that’s too hard a line to take given the reality of global warming.

On the other hand, I can perfectly see the rationale for people taking that view, who don’t see why they should have to sacrifice at all when the guys at the top of the pile are doing just fine (and are very likely, under current conditions, to simply move into trading energy offsets and continue to rake in the dough).
