On Earth Day, liberal MSNBC host Chris Hayes published a piece for The Nation which compared the political economy of global warming to the political economy of slavery. Hayes compared the financial interests of preserving slavery to the financial interests of burning hydrocarbons which environmentalists say cause global warming.
“The last time in American history that some powerful set of interests relinquished its claim on $10 trillion of wealth was in 1865 — and then only after four years and more than 600,000 lives lost in the bloodiest, most horrific war we’ve ever fought,” Hayes said, adding he is not trying to morally equate global warming and slavery.
But while Hayes says he disavows moral equivalency, he argues that the only historical equivalent to the politics of global warming is slavery. Hayes writes that “you must confront the fact that the climate justice movement is demanding that an existing set of political and economic interests be forced to say goodbye to trillions of dollars of wealth.”
“It is impossible to point to any precedent other than abolition,” he adds.

President Obama has told us all how scared he is of global warming, and that if we don’t “act now,” then it will be the second coming of Gozer the Gozerian, aka Gozer the Destructor, Volguus Zildrohar, Gozer the Traveler and Lord of the Sebouillia. (Sorry, not trying to give the Cult of Gozer a bad rap by conflating them with global warmists).
After all, Obama has told us countless times how much we all need to cut back on our emissions and get some “skin in the game,” because if we don’t baby polar bears are going to drown and the earth is going to incinerate in a giant ball of molten lava. Roughly paraphrasing, but that’s the gist.
Well, this is how much Obama loves the planet: he burned 35,000 gallons of fuel and emitted 350 tons of CO2 by his lonesome just on Earth Day alone.
