Green politics emerges as a distinct school of thought in some part specifically because socialist economics pulled off things like evaporating the Aral Sea. It is a separate thing.

One doesn't even need to look to the Soviet Union, it's sufficient to look at how in the modern UK there are trade unions whose take on the idea of a transition away from oil is "absolutely fucking not."
