As Gary Barnett argues below, climate change looks and sounds more and more like the new religion and less and less like science.
With 97% of scientists agreeing that climate change is real, that means there are only 3% of diehard heretics left to argue that climate is "static"? Really?
And with Greta Thunberg at 16 as the priestess of the new religion, who indeed can argue with her and her rhetoric from the heart? To hell with financial and social concerns about the consequences of the extreme policies implied!
The 18 century was the age of reason which gave birth to the 19C, the age of technology and then the 20C, the age of science. From the beginning, it was unlikely that the forces of obscurantism would be defeated so easily. History said otherwise and the recent past is proving history right.
Germany is on the verge of crashing one of the wealthiest economy ever created on the totem of this new religion. Since the point of no return is just 12 short years away, there is simply no time left to discuss the merits and demerits of what looks more and more like a dogma. "We must act now" less poor Greta and her whole generation are left without a future.
Never mind the horrendous costs of transforming our energy sources from fossil to "renewable" in an absurdly short time (Closing all nuclear power plants in Germany by 2022 comes to mind although "nuclear" is as carbon neutral as can be!) which may but probably won't improve the energy balance of the country in 10 years (Think corn oil in the US!) Or becoming "carbon neutral" within a few decades which will decimate the existing industrial infrastructure of the country, starting with the car industry forced march to a 2030 full electric future.
Only at a time of "fiduciary money" (money without anchor) and zero interest rates forever financial bubbles can such nonsense be entertained seriously without opposition and overwhelming calls to reason. It is simply suicide on a grand scale for the most extremist countries at the heart of Europe with a guaranty to go bankrupt long before the unattainable goals are even within technological sight (which they are not today) and the relentless lowering of living standards on this unpaved road. which goes together.
So let's not argue with 97% of scientists by saying that the oceans are not rising much faster than they have over the last 10,000 years, between 1 and 2mm per year and that most examples of encroaching seas are actually man made and due to soil subsidence, or that entropogenic CO2 emissions may or may not be the main driver of rising temperatures, together with the sun cycles and water vapor or that the models are far less clear than people are made to believe. Or even, god forbid, say that the planet has experienced far higher levels of CO2 and temperatures in the past without much trouble or worse that a sudden cold snap is more likely and dangerous than the nicely rising temperatures of late!
Look at the video, then let's try to understand why, this particular narrative is pushed upon us with such force and for what purpose. Could it be, as Gary Barnett explains a trick to regain control of society, which just a brief instant was almost lost thanks to the Internet and it's democratizing power?
The Transformation of Religion and the Control Over Society

Religion is still useful among the herd – that it helps their orderly conduct as nothing else could. The crude human animal is in-eradicably superstitious, and there is every biological reason why they should be.
Take away his Christian god and saints, and he will worship something else…” ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Worship by the human animal began long ago, and has taken many forms. The human species has forever looked for the answers to life, and has looked toward those who claim to speak to God, and has also looked to science. The reverence shown toward those wearing royal robes, vestments of service to God, has never been completely isolated to the claimed devout. Mankind has always been filled with fear and has been gullible, so those he followed and worshipped could be any port in the storm. Fear and gullibility is a dangerous pairing to be sure, and in this progressive and multicultural world of today, the end result of false religious fervor could be one of total societal control.
Religion has always been about control. In the church a thousand years ago, the highest member of clergy might claim that he talked directly to God, and that because he had exclusive knowledge of divine power, all should do as he says. They should turn over their money and individual freedom in order to comply with God’s will. At that time, this was accepted, as the masses of common people put faith in such beliefs as these, and due to fear, complied. That is not the case today, as with time, this bowing down to “holy” masters is mostly seen as foolish. So those seeking to control others needed a new religion, one that would be more widely accepted.
Rulers by definition seek to rule, and in order to accomplish their mission, control over others is necessary. In modern times, control over society has remained in place, but the basis of that control has dramatically changed. There is an old saying that a “Tiger never changes his stripes,” and this is an accurate description concerning the ruling elites, as money, power, and control have always been their only gods. Instead of magic and superstition, instead of faith-based religious rule, instead of the rule of royalty, and instead of rule by the majority, the planned rule sought will be one guided by “science” and technology. Real science is not considered in this equation, as future rule will be based on politicized science, which is completely immune from steadfast scrutiny, from question, from doubt, and from unrelenting challenge. In other words, the politicized science of today is not science at all, but is merely agenda driven fake science.
Legitimate individual scientists understand the concept of extensive and continuous research, of challenge, of new information, and of dissent, but when science is politicized, it is no longer valid. When most all science agrees, it is false. No truth can come from the group, as any group is essentially made up of different individuals, so mass scientific consensus is a certain sign of corruption. That corruption is guaranteed because the bulk of science today is funded from outside sources, and therefore is agenda driven. When scientists are paid to study and research, they are bound to a particular outcome, an outcome that is desired by those funding the research. This is obvious in the entirety of today’s scientific research at the university level, at the corporate level, and at the government level. In fact, all these shameful entities work together to achieve a particular end. The result sought is the control of everything and everybody.
Those who have an agenda to control the United States, as well as the rest of the world, are committed to rule administered by a select few experts that relies on science and technology as the basis for curing the human condition. This is a rule called Technocracy, and is now being quietly implemented at a rapid pace. The public at large so far is going along without much resistance, and this is a dangerous precedent to set.
While this anticipated rule by the elites is multi-faceted in nature, the single most important aspect of the propaganda necessary to fuel this takeover of human behavior is the con-game called “climate change.” This lie of politicized science is the driver of a technocratic agenda that will allow for domination of the world’s populace. In my opinion, this is the most dangerous type of control possible, as it will be all consuming, and based on capturing the entirety of humanity. This is a plan to affect a total behavioral change through technological means in a system without escape, and on a worldwide scale.
