It becomes evident that while discussing climate we are not witnessing a clash of views about the environment but a clash of views about human freedom.

It should come as no surprise that environmentalism and socialism are somewhat linked. Both stress the interconnections in systems, whereas Libertarianism stresses the lack of interconnections. Unfortunately, biology and hence life, is full of interconnections. The danger for those on the left is that they see the interconnections as so tight that they end up curtailing too many freedoms, and hence stifle the system. The danger for those on the right is that they deny so many of the interconnections that they deny science as well. You would find a pretty good correlation in the USA between those who like free markets, doubt the science of global warming, don't care about the environment, and think humans were created 10,000 years ago by God.
