Karl Marx died in March 14, 1883 - 13 years before the first connection between atmospheric greenhouse gas accumulation and global warming was drawn.

Well it's a good thing he died, because as we all know, when someone dies, their ideology dissolves like sugar in water

When someone dies, their ideology immediately becomes subject to being revised, hijacked, twisted, and perverted toward ends that they never would have imagined in their lifetimes.

I doubt Marx would have endorsed the horrors that were latter carried out in his name by self-interested dictators. Similarly, I doubt Jesus would have endorsed the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Catholic Church and Southern Baptist pedophile scandals, and many other barbarities carried out down through the centuries by so-called "Christians."

If Marxism includes everything that's been done in the name of Marx, then it's a barbaric philosophy indeed. But if it's limited to only what Marx wrote, then it's a harmless economic theory. Same with Christianity. Christ's teachings themselves are quite moral and based. But you'd have to be a fool to endorse everything "Christians" have done.

Long story short: we don't know what Marx would have thought about climate change. His writings were about economics, not planetary science, and his death predates the first predictions of manmade climate change by over a decade.
