Climate change activism is inauthentic. If they really cared about the environment, the focus would be on pollution and habitat destruction, not carbon output.

My gripe with this whole “climate change” rhetoric is that:

We are primarily funded by readers. Please subscribe and donate to support us!
  1. yes, we are not being good stewards to the planet and our environment
  2. yes, our activities are destroying biodiversity and priming us for an inevitable collapse

But at the same time, the priority should be on tangible and measurable metrics to prevent this destruction:

  1. habitat destruction because of deforestation and monocrop agriculture, things that everyday person isn’t doing. This is all corporations’ doing, and then we are blamed for “climate change” because we drove too many miles in a day
  2. Pollution of oceans, air, and soil, which again is done mostly by corporations. People do some of it too, but never do you see pollution and clean up discussed in the context of “climate change”

The point is that “climate change” is indefinable and vague. Just like “public health” and “greater good” that we saw during Covid, it’s an abstract ideal whose definition can change at any moment, which allows the entities promoting it, like the world’s government, to wield a seemingly infinite amount of power by changing the parameters of what it means as needed, and ultimately controlling everyone. This is the same ideal that all of the worst communist regimes in the world espoused: you have to do what’s best for the “state” and everyone’s “greater good”. But because you can’t even easily explain what this means, it just means you become a drone and do what you’re told. This key tenet of past and present tyrannical regimes – an abstract and indefinable ideal – is exactly of the same shit cloth as “climate change” or “global warming” or whatever else branding they think of next. It sucks because yes we need to “save the planet” (to me this means preventing biodiversity loss, a measurable goal) but it starts with looking at things we can do right now like stopping deforestation and mass pollution, and not carbon taxing the poor people of the world. But because it would stand in a way of corporate greed and political exploitation, it will never be the focus. It’s all bullshit.
