First law of humanity – don’t kill your children(Hans Joachim Schellnhuber)

It is not an accident that fascist philosophies and movements willfully ignore human-induced global warmingleading to the Sixth mass extinction of species, the largest since 56 million years ago. The nature of denialists is manifest in their venting of hate on the 16 years-old Gerta Thunberg, the voice of a generation destined to face the global warming calamity perpetrated by sections of humanity.

“But the Emperor has nothing at all on!” said a little child. (Hans Christian Anderson)

There is nothing moral about the fundamentaliststelling children they may be burning in hell if they sin on Earth, while ignoring the evidence of the inferno facing future generations as the atmosphere is heated by greenhouse gas emissions, plunging the planet into a hothouse Earth.

In their panic the denialists attribute the girl’s views, which are consistent with climate science, to her asperger syndrome or smear her as mentally ill, ignoring many with this syndrome are highly intelligent people. By extension they dismiss the basic laws of physics, climate science and the consensus on global warming, which the 16 years-oldreiterates.

Greta Thunberg

While the destruction of the habitabilityof Earth is in progress, rather than comprehend the extreme consequences of global warmingthe contrarians appear to be alarmed by the voice of a teenage girl, just in case this may deprive the industry of death from theirenormous profits. Further, these people instinctively correlate attempts at defending life on Earth with “left” socialist ideas.

The history of H. sapiens is dominatedby a conflict between life-enhancing forces and the life-destroying conduct, carnage and wars, the cycle symbolized inthe Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva cycle in Hindu mythology.Climate change has not been invented by “conservatives”but once its fatal consequences have become manifest it fits well with the “survival of the fittest” ideology,denying science, nature and life.

Such conflicts originate in the natural world, however once a specieshas acquired a range of lethal techniques—chemical detonation, atom splitting,radiation, biological warfare—the survival of the fittest paradigmbecomes a recipe for global suicide, compounded by the lunacy of seeking shelter on other planets.

Global governance and legal systems are not designed to cope with this ultimate danger. Elaborate legal systems exist to collect taxes or enforce traffic rules, but no courts exist to prevent the powers that be from changing the composition for the atmosphere, thereby leading to one of the greatest mass extinction of species the Earth has suffered.

    I just returned from New York. While there I attended lectures at the Museum of Natural History by two noted Climatologists; Katharine Hayhoe and Cynthia Scharf.

    Greta Thunberg was at the UN for the UN Climate Summit. Every word of her presentation was prescient. Deadly irreversible tipping points are approaching us. They could lead to our extinction. Her year 2030 tipping point is scientific fact.

    This was confirmed by the two Climatologists. Also, they both stated that as tipping points are reached there will be no possibility of technological geoengineering reversal.
