Carbon Hysteria

I found the following article interesting and funny. The person being interviewed thinks a new religion is emerging, based around ecology and saving the planet. It has become heresy to question climate change or its causes, and carbon has become the new evil doer. I talk about this new religion in my book Snob's Guide to New Zealand. 

Here's the interview: https://internationalman.com/articles/doug-casey-on-why-the-carbon-hysteria-is-a-huge-threat-to-your-personal-freedom-and-financial-wellbeing/

Look, this is all about politics and money, but disguised as a religious movement, which is quite clever. There’s no question that Greenism is being promoted as a new religion.

Christianity is a dead duck in Europe, and it’s dying in North America. But people need some type of religion, a replacement for Christianity, to hold on to.

People will be encouraged to treat their taxes as tithes to wash away their sins against Mother Nature—much the way they tithed the church to expunge their sins in the Middle Ages. It’s an exact analogy. They’ll buy “carbon credits” as an analog for building cathedrals and monasteries.
