Zendo Deb questions Europe, and it’s worship of Gaia? I love nature, I recognize the importance of preserving wild lands as, wild places, and the importance of am supportive of common sensical environmentalism. What the left sells today, however, is sheer lunacy in many cases.
When we start rationing the ability to travel? And to cool, or heat your home? To feed your family? When we begin to limit pork, beef, and other foodstuffs? That is madness and please, count me, and every other sane person out. The left, of course, does not believe people should have choices, and therein lies the problem. The radical enviros wish to decide how much we can have, eat, what temperature our home should be, and how much we may travel. In short, they have embraced fanaticism Take Europe for example
It’s no secret that Europe long ago ceased embracing Judeo-Christian faith and values. In its place, the Europeans have embraced environmentalism with evangelistic fervor. Nations throughout Europe have turned their backs on fossil fuels and embraced the green agenda, pushing hard for an unrealistic goal of “net-zero” carbon emissions within arbitrary timelines. The area that was once the center of Christendom has replaced God with green.
Earlier this year, Canadian scientist and writer Martin Grünn put it this way: “Environmentalism has seeped into nearly every nook and cranny of day-to-day life in the developed world… Compliance is expected, with laggards publicly shamed and/or faced with activist onslaughts.”
Last week, Spain’s government announced a new measure that limits thermostat settings in public buildings to no lower than 27°C (80.6°F) in the summer and no higher than 19°C (66.2°F) in the winter. When the government heard backlash, it exempted “hospitals; universities, schools and kindergartens; and hairdressing salons” from the rule.
Well, more likely they exempted them for now. The left has a nasty habit of enforcing their agenda with greater fervor when their unrealistic aims are not met. It can never be that they are wrong, it is because they did not make the rules harsh enough.
