A remarkable analysis on "
Climate hysteria, ecological dictatorship and inconvenient truth"
https://thewonderlusters.com/fr/hysteri ... range/amp/This text is long and dense but intelligent, the intelligence consisting in explaining the personal context of the author (see his "cultural iceberg"), which provides the framework of the logic of his analysis.
A short excerpt, so true:
-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
Climate alarmists: who are they?Among the followers of the climate-hysterical sect, there are 3 categories of people: groupies, sympathizers, idiots.
GroupiesThey are the unconditional ones, the militants, the zealous ones, the saviors of humanity, those without whom we would have already known the apocalypse. We should thank them because thanks to them, there is today a debate on global warming, but according to them, there should not be because no dispute should be possible: man is responsible, period. They claim the science is established and just repeat what they have heard. In reality, they never wondered if their opponents could be right because anyway, everything that comes out of their mouths is false.
They are of the substance of those Lenin cynically called "useful idiots", in reference to Western intellectuals who, in too much of a hurry to properly analyze the consequences of their actions, unwittingly defended a cause which contradicted their deep convictions by supporting the Communists. They are in good faith, but they are easily manipulated. They scream louder than everyone else. So to destabilize, even humiliate an opponent, they are very effective.
The sympathizersThis category includes most people from Western countries. It is made up of a lot of great people who are adept at having useful conversations on the subject of climate change. They are normal people who are almost as convinced as their zealous friends, but they are not ready to give up completely without compromising their quality of life. For example, they fly in guilt, but they put things into perspective by offsetting their carbon footprint after the fact.
These are the modern homo-sapiens-sapiens for whom the search for the truth is not a priority. Instead of preferring their reason, they use their emotions and survival instinct to make decisions. Their cognitive bias and non-rational judgment work together to affect their thinking capacity, thereby bypassing their logical process.
In short, they rely on what they perceive to accept a truth or draw hasty conclusions.
For example:
natural disasters are deadlier, the planet is warming, CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing, the world population is growing. So man is responsible for global warming.Another example :
science proves it, politicians say it, the media reports it, schools teach it, there is consensus, so it's true.The idiotsAnd then there are the idiots. Frankly, there isn't much hope for them. If you can get the tribe they belong to to change their position, they will follow you and probably won't even realize that they have changed position. They draw even more hasty conclusions than their sympathetic friends.
For example:
Justin Trudeau is young, good looking and talks about ecology, so he would make a good prime minister.-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------

. How many fools to believe it too? Well as much as for the first. Among devotees, facts don't matter. Only faith.
