    Yes.

    Actually sufficiently addressing climate change requires us to convert to nuclear ASAP, completely transform industrial production, restructure transportation to be more focused on mass transit, end the vast majority of flights, including those used for rapid shipping, adopt a completely different approach to industrialized agriculture, which currently requires fossil fuel inputs, and generally adopt degrowth / anticonsumption.

    Most of those will create a crisis for capitalism all by itself. All of them require central planning. Degrowth is strictly incompatible with capitalism.

    This is why we should all be ecosocialists as well: revolution is necessary to address existential threats to our environment and make a shared baseline of human existence sustainable.
