The role of those who organize the destruction of the world, from which they derive their power, is to make believe to the mass of more and more considerable of those who realize that there is no causal link between these two phenomena. Thanks to the media, the dominant ones have a nice game to maintain a cognitive dissonance that causes confusion: the collateral damage would be the fact that excesses or circumstantial abuses that would be easily solved by some measures or adapted reforms.
Thus was born the extraordinary concept (if one thinks about it well) of "sustainable development": this oxymoron makes clear the claimed possibility of a continuation of the growth without the preceding problems. The slogan "save the planet", absurd as it may be, corresponded well to this desire to scramble the message by generalizing and de-dramatizing it in such a way that it lost all its meaning; However, it is not the container that is threatened, but rather what it contains.
It was not enough, however, to simply let go of all structural responsibility in this way: in the current state of the economy, it is imperative to find new possibilities to profitably invest the enormous accumulation of capital. This is why, faithful to a completely classic strategy, the economic system has endeavored to turn to its advantage the criticisms which are (moderately!) Addressed to it. The recent concern for a more circumscribed threat (the increase in atmospheric CO² and the global warming that it induces) that the media echo abundantly reflects a clear desire to make the damage profitable by means of a gigantic deployment of equipment supposed to remedy it. . It is obviously the energy sector which is directly concerned with the intensification of a reconversion towards "green" energies, or at least with low greenhouse gas emissions (the other aspects? We will deal with them later !
). We know the details of the operation: wind turbines, photovoltaics, biomass and electric vehicles, etc ...; this does not exclude geo-engineering, but nothing very conclusive in the matter for the moment. In short, all these reconversions are presented as substituting for fossil fuels, when in fact they will be added **, as has always been the case in the past. It is in fact improperly to distinguish periods * corresponding to the various energies that would have succeeded one another: in reality, the appearance and development of a new form of energy did not eliminate the recourse to those which preceded it. : largely cumulative rather than exclusive process.It is this idea of accentuating this mutation which is at the origin of the "marches for the climate", carefully instrumentalised and this in order to obtain the widest possible adhesion with the abused civil society and which will constitute ultimately the obligatory contributor of the manna of subsidies which, alone, will make these operations profitable. Who will refuse to put his hand in the pocket for a transition demanded loudly? This is the genius of the ultimate maneuver, which will consist in transfiguring a defeat into a democratic victory ...
* The age of wood, coal, oil ...
** As shown, for example, clearly the current level of coal consumption that has never been so high.
