In this video I discuss the following: 
✅ Critique of a New York Times op-ed regarding 1980s climate momentum and a response article from *The Intercept*.
✅ How unregulated capitalism, deregulation, and the Reagan-Thatcher privatisation wave (plus NAFTA) blocked climate action.
✅ Corporate media obfuscation, fossil fuel advertising influence, and the rise of democratic socialism and the Green New Deal.
