Comments Policy

By posting a comment on this website, you agree that your words may be quoted or republished by Climate and Capitalism or by others without further permission or notice.

The following guidelines have been adopted to promote comradely discussion. If you do not agree with these guidelines, please don’t post comments on this site.

Comments that violate these guidelines will be deleted without notice. Individuals who repeatedly violate the guidelines will be banned.

  1. Comments will be moderated and not all will be approved. The moderator is the  final authority on this.
  2. Comments should be relevant to the subject matter discussed in the associated article.
  3. Brief quotations from articles posted elsewhere are acceptable, but long excerpts or entire articles are not. If you believe that another article is relevant, provide a link, not the text.
  4. Comments should be of substance, and where possible backed by facts and/or sources. One-liners, witty or otherwise, are not appropriate.
  5. Racist, homophobic, or sexist comments, and derogatory comments about people with physical disabilities or mental distress, are not permitted.
  6. Offensive, insulting or libelous comments about individuals are not permitted.
  7. Comments and flames whose apparent purpose is to impede debate by baiting other people are not permitted.
  8. There are many sites where you can argue that global warming isn’t real, or that the nearly universal scientific consensus about the role of greenhouse gases is wrong, or that capitalism is superior to socialism. Climate and Capitalism isn’t one of them.
  9. We use an automatic filtering system to block spam: we accept no responsibility for any message being incorrectly blocked. Any advertising, commercial message or spam that gets through the filter will be removed.
  10. Comments that do not include  a valid email address will be deleted. This is for verification purposes only: your address will not be published or given to any third party.
