Interesting. I’m pessimistic about anything that conservative being implemented in the US. Too many of the conservatives in this country have the “rugged individual” myth engrained. I’m sure there are a few who actually have the skills to survive like that, but they overwhelmingly vote like they can.
It’s conservative only in that it “conserves our ability to live on this planet”. The measures described in the paper can only reasonably be implemented under a socialist government that has taken full control over economic development. Capital C Conservatism as a political ideology, however, seeks to conserve existing societal hierarchies, hierarchies such as capitalism which, ironically, is expressly running us towards civilisational collapse due to climate change.
