The climate crisis is not a conspiracy. It's just good old human nature in action. Like communism, it's yet another case of too many people getting carried away with a really, really terrible idea.
With the new conciliation government now in office, the "climate crisis" has been added to the public agenda. Israel has opted to handle the subject in a typical manner: First, get the funds flowing, and figure out the details later.
I'll start with the bottom line: Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is to Israeli politics what the climate crisis is to world economies. This is a just and correct issue, although one of the small dimensions that have been attributed outsized importance and now tops the list of the greatest shams of the 21st century.
There is a major difference between what we hear about the severity and urgency of the "climate crisis" and the real damage it can cause. We have spent more time listening to a teenaged girl with braided hair than Nobel Prize-winning experts. We eagerly buy the goods populist politicians sell us, never contemplating the possibility we could find things out for ourselves. Rational people must begin to understand: The "climate movement" is disconnected from scientific, economic, and humanistic reality. We have far more pressing matters to attend to.
The facts are just waiting to be discovered online. It is to the scientific world's credit that there is a broad and respectable opposition of scientists of the first degree who deny the religious truths of the "climate crisis" as presented by their colleagues. For every gloomy assertion made by "climate supporters," there is the empiric, justified, and accepted proof accepted by scientists who, oddly enough, have not lost their faith in the truth. Although in a reality in which Netflix is basing an entire generation of programming on this fictitious, dystopian theme, and with those same scientists who dare to speak up denounced as "climate deniers," it's no wonder those reading this piece would be able to recognize Greta Thunberg in public but could not offer one argument against the climate sham. Similar to the feminist and LGBTQ+ movements and a plethora of other just causes, the debate has been nationalized by activist groups. They may share the right to speak on the issue, albeit only from the sidelines. At the heart of the "climate movement," one finds a group that meets all the criteria of a religious cult.
So what is going on here? Are we living in a system of disinformation that is making us fear a false "existential threat" that has been blown out of proportion? The answer, unfortunately, is yes. Is this one big conspiracy by the evil lizard people? No, there is no comprehensive evil plan. Rather there is a collective conscience that has been taken hostage. The moment "save our earth" became a necessary brand and the romantic and infantile concepts began to easily take precedence over empirical evidence – the battle was lost before it began. The climate sham is the most trivial and most banal thing. It's not a conspiracy. It's just good old human nature in action. Like communism, it's another case of too many people getting carried away with a really, really terrible idea.
