The False Religion of Climate Change Extremism By James Reed

In the US a Rasmussen poll, always interesting, found that a majority of voters agreed with the proposition, that the climate change ideology was not about climate change at all, but was a new religion. There is certainly a good conceptual case that can be made for this. There are, for the environmentalists, the Garden of Eden, the lovely world of non-white people who lived in total harmony with nature, never engaged in mass burnings, or in warfare with other tribes. They were spiritual folk; pure of heart. Then the evil white man came and created the modern world. Whites instigated slavery, racism, sexism, transphobia, that was totally unknow to the diverse folk, who loved each other, particularly foreign tribes; there were no “constant battles.” Then industrialism was created which is now destroying the planet; there are only a few years, if not months, or days, left for the West (but not communist China, who must become world ruler), to go back to eating insects, or better, just die off. Communist China will create a new Garden of Eden, because, they are not cursed with “whiteness.”  Hence whiteness must go, as Critical Race Theory argues. If that is not a nasty “religion,” or cult, racist to the core, it will do until a nasty cult comes along.

That is the story that I have seen from covering the climate change mania. It is expressed a bit more sophistication in papers and books by Leftists, the acts of publication involving industrial processes being inconsistent with their Romantic Primitivism, but they do it anyway, as via grants and academic jobs, we pay for this bs. It is a cosy, comfortable day job in the sheltered workshops of the modern university.

“A majority of voters agree with a Republican presidential candidate’s criticism of climate change as a “religion” that isn’t really about the climate at all.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 60% of Likely U.S. voters agree – including 47% who Strongly Agree – with Vivek Ramasamy’s recent statement that climate change has become a religion that “actually has nothing to do with the climate” and is really about power and control. Thirty-five percent (35%) disagree with Ramaswamy’s statement, including 25% who Strongly Disagree. 

The survey of 950 U.S. Likely Voters was conducted on March 6-8, 2023 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research.”
