David Holmes puts Karl Marx and climate change together

Karl Marx.

Karl Marx and climate change might seem unrelated.

However, the Senior Lecturer, Communications and Media Studies at Monash University, David Holmes has put them together.

Writing on The Conversation in March this year, Holmes said: “Given the efforts around the world to discredit climate change science as a “socialist plot”, it is worth looking not at the relationship of socialist states to climate change, but to foundational socialist thinker Karl Marx”.

Holmes’ article was headed: "Karl Marx and climate change”.
