Hysteria Green Heat Wave Uncontrollable – Rise for it?

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

The ecological terror of the heatwave shows how millenarian environmentalism has become.

If you find yourself wondering for the next few days why it’s so sweltering hot, I have the answer for you. It’s because of the rich. It’s because of the affluent classes with gas-guzzling cars and reckless vacations. It’s their fault that you sweat on the Tube.
This infant claim is actually being made, and by politicians, taken seriously. Labour’s Richard Burgon, on his Instagram account, is wringing his sweaty hands for the filthy rich people who seem to have landed us in this weather apocalypse.
“As we face 40 degrees Celsius and the first Red Extreme Heat Warning, remember this climate crisis is driven by the wealthy,” he cried. His stern words were, naturally, accompanied by a Met Office map showing half of England as dark red – the color hell was chosen to illustrate our predicament. how bad it got.
Is anyone else tired of all this green hysteria during the heatwave? There’s something medieval about it. There’s something pre-modern scary in the idea that sinful humanity has brought heat, fire, and flood to itself with its cruel, overbearing behavior. What’s next – the locust epidemic as a punishment for our not recycling?
The ecological terror of the heatwave shows how century-old environmentalism has become. Actions against climate change are less and less about providing practical solutions to the pollution problem and more about turning humanity into a plague on a planet, a pox on Earth . These people really see hot weather as an indictment of humanity, and a harbinger of the impending heat death to our world we’ve caused with all the pollution. infect and consume our evil.
All are there. Caroline Lucas says, ‘The climate emergency is right here, right now’. An observer describe Europe as a ‘continent on fire’ – this is not true, is it? – and says the hot weather is proof of ‘the ravages of climate change’. Are from ‘Hell heatwave’ are popping up everywhere, and many in the group form the point of knowing exactly who is responsible for this hell: you and me and all the others who have dared to live modern, public lives turmeric.
This isn’t the first time a weather event has been described as a man-made inferno. When the IPCC’s latest report was released last year, talk of hell was widespread. “If we don’t stop emissions soon, our future climate could become some kind of hell on Earth,” said one. Oxford Profile. And of course, we have suffered all this fiery punishment ourselves just as Sodom and Gomorrah begged God’s divine punishment by such perversion. We are ‘Sin like the devil’exclaimed the Guardian’s environment editor, sounding like one of those rebel militia preachers you’ll see on street corners in the old days.
There is, to my mind, no better evidence that climate activism has become a doomsday cult than the fact that its main ideologies are now not even capable of it. enjoy the hot weather. They feel the sun’s rays on their faces and all they can think about is the Armageddon that the modern masses have created with their cheap flights and 4X4s and their addiction to single-use fashion. time.
When you see everything as a sign, as further proof of your own doomsday belief system, you’ve got a problem.
Let’s have some views. Propaganda terms such as ‘severe weather’ and ‘Weather of mass destruction’ are meant to arouse fear in the population whenever there is a sun or flood. However, as Bjorn Lomborg pointed out, the number of deaths from climate-related disasters has fallen dramatically over the past hundred years.
In the 1920s, nearly 500,000 people died annually in hurricanes, floods, droughts, and heat waves. In 2020, only 14,000 people will die as a result of such natural disasters. That means the global annual death toll from climate disasters has fallen by 96%. The modernity that eco-warriors have always despised has actually helped protect humanity from Mother Nature’s violent whims.
Lomborg also points out that in most parts of the world, cold deaths ‘far superior’ heat death. So while planetary warming may increase heat waves, it will reduce cold waves. Which would be very good for human life. Are we allowed to look on the bright side again?
This isn’t the first time extreme weather events have been blamed on evil humans, whether it’s Richard Burgon’s wealthy elite or just people in general who drive their diesels and take two easyJet flights per year. No, in the Middle Ages too, scapegoats were often sought whenever there was a frightening climate event.
As the German historian Wolfgang Behringer recorded, in the 14th and 15th centuries, ‘unnatural climate phenomena’ often blamed on ‘a grand conspiracy of witches’. Especially during the Little Ice Age, when crops failed in many parts of Europe, there was a frenzied witch hunt. Some in society ‘consider witches directly responsible for the high frequency of climate anomalies’.
Sound familiar? I certainly hear echoes of that old, receding belief that sinisters are responsible for the strange weather in an attempt to pin today’s heatwave on the rich or coal miners or on riders. car. Environmentalism has resurrected as pseudoscience the age-old instinct to seek out witches or sinners who are responsible for society’s misfortunes.
Everyone needs to calm down. We are safer from the weather than ever before. Sunny. Go out. Sit in the shade. Eat icecream.
