Michael Shellenberger puts the case that behind the climate change fanaticism, seen for example in the anti-oilers, who glue themselves to paintings, is narcissism. It is the over-blown expression of self. As Shellenberger details, and many other have too, there is no foundation to the crisis narrative, yet the anti-oilers have a unique sense of doom. It must only come from a fear of them losing, of their precious hides being tanned. And this is not unexpected, given that he me-generation characterised the 1960s babies, and now their children are even more spoilt. They have not had to suffer, as the generation that went through World War I and II did, so they have absorbed a philosophy of entitlement, dangerously mixed with Leftism. But, this is unstable, and the very forces of chaos, that they are dimly aware of, will destroy them as natural selection returns, at long last.
