Counterproductive environmental measures

[perplex]

Janic comes back, something is wrong there!

This is what is starting to happen today with the collusion between the political powers and the IPCC, with the blessing of environmentalism, the new clergy, who demand that we take even more money from the people to serve their cause.

I agree with you on certain points of friction, but on others, by comparing a scientific organism to a religion, you do not evolve one iota...
you remind me of janic ...When you see the tail...

You will then explain to me why Augustine or Thomas Aquinas, who could have prematurely made "scientists" like Newton, only sought to rationally demonstrate the existence of God , or why from the Middle Ages, apart from portrait painters, we have no works of painters other than on religious themes.

God is an anthropomorphic concept which symbolizes uniqueness within a cultural field. It is therefore in essence the nucleus of coalescence on which culture is aggregated. It is thus quite logical that culture revolves around religious fact ,even today...only the devotional images have changed.

However, the idea of ​​god is far from being impermanent, which is also the best proof to demonstrate its inexistence in the metaphysical sense. The concept of divinity has only evolved over time from animism (hundred spirits) to evolve towards ever decreasing forms: polytheism, henotheism, monolatry, monotheism then structural atheism.
In all cases it is the thermodynamic terrain which controls in a direction from nature to culture and not the other way around.
The Roman Empire, polytheist in essence, turned towards Christianity because the latter suited the empire much better as a common norm. Once the disintegration of the latter and the return to fragmentation embodied by feudalism (feudalism means fiefdom, that is to say a parcel of power) Christianity managed to maintain itself in the brains because it contained within it numerous cultural elements which made it a disguised polytheism (Marian cult, cult of saints; holy relics etc. ..).

This is what is starting to happen today with the collusion between the political powers and the IPCC, with the blessing of environmentalism, the new clergy, who demand that we take even more money from the people to serve their cause.

This is perhaps why we organized the COP in Dubai, a well-known stronghold of leftist environmentalism!
There is no collusion between the government, the IPCC and the NGOs but convergence of interests which is completely different and incidentally saves us from avoiding theories of a conspiratorial nature.
The long-banned ideology of degrowth suddenly becomes an alibi for recession. Industrialists have understood that giving pride of place to global warming is a way to win on both counts: economically and psychologically.
From now on they will be able to make us pay twice the price for the same thing with green approval from the public. Isn't life beautiful?
