This is just another version of "The issue is never the issue; the issue is always revolution". 
Attempts to solve specific real problems with specific real solutions are considered a distraction from 'the revolution". So no interest in them...

Look at all the panicked responses from progressive media. It's all "blame climate change", no specific solutions. And even the "blame climate change" is code for "EVERYTHING must change, as per the revolution". 

You CANNOT work with these people if your goal is to solve the actual problems right now and for the next few decades. They simply are not interested in that goal, only in the revolution. 
You think this is hyperbole? Look at Greta. 
Seamless transition from Climate to Hamas. Once Hamas is squelched it will be seamless transition to, I don't know, but probably "end AI". None of it is real; it's all fantasy that assumes the rapture (in the form of Total Revolution) will save us from everything.
