Climate Alarmism Is The Left’s New Religion
In a new video posted to Triggernometry, Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster interview Marian Tupy, where he discusses how extreme environmentalism maps onto Christian theology and why we should be optimistic about the future.
Tupy is the editor of HumanProgress.org and a senior fellow at the Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity. He specializes in globalization, global well-being, politics, and the economics of Europe and Southern Africa.
He is the co-author of ‘Superabundance: The Story of Population Growth, Innovation, and Human Flourishing on an Infinitely Bountiful Planet‘.
Tupy points out the eerie similarities between the climate religion and traditional faiths:
“On the one hand, you’ve got your Garden of Eden. That’s the world before industrialization.
“You have your devils, who are the fossil fuel CEOs. And you have your saints like Greta Thunberg.
“You have your priesthood, comprised of IPCC scientists. And you even have indulgences like [you did] before Reformation when you are allowed to fly around the world on a private jet but only as long as you give a few thousand pounds or dollars to a green cause. All those sins are simply washed away.
“And one of the fundamental features of any religion is the apocalypse, the end of days,” he adds. “If the world is going to end, it’s certainly not because we are running out of Natural Resources.”

There are differences between ‘religions’ and ‘cults’.
Climate Alarmism is the best new cult since Mohammed robbed caravans and murdered anyone who stood in his way…

They have been preaching and practicing this religion since the late 1970’s when the threat of a decades long cold ice age didn’t pan out. They have shifted gears and still not one of their prophecies have come to fruition.

G.K. Chesterton pointed out, and I think Michael Crichton reiterated, that when people stop believing in God, the problem is not that they believe in nothing but believe in anything.
Oh for the days of asking what your astrological sign is.

I was compelled to listen to his opinions until around 28 minutes when his understanding of pathogens and the American Pharmaceutical Industry is extraordinarily naive and bordering on complete ignorance of that we have been through. I stopped listening.
