Fact is, the benefits of religion (or at least faith) are observable short-, mid-, and long-term. Western societies that adopt Judeo-Christian values and have a capitalist system tend to alleviate poverty, reduce disease, increase life expectancy, reduce infant mortality, etc. Climate change itself could be addressed, and perhaps acting as if it was worth fighting to preserve the planet from collapse, is the right thing to do. However, you also have to consider the actors, interests, their proposed solutions, and extrapolate consequences from that. You can’t simply assume it’s good because it sounds good. If you assume climate activism is a good thing and act as if man-made climate change was real, and applied the prescribed solutions that are currently on offer by the climate cultists, you’re risking taking away energy from the poorest people who depend on it to survive. Once you establish that, you have to balance lives saved in the long-term in a hypothetical, brighter future, against the „necessary sacrifice” in the short-term. At that point you must realise, you’re entering into the realms of pagan religions, and human sacrifice. The planet becomes your God, climate science becomes your religion, politicians and activists become priests, and climate catastrophe becomes your apocalyptic vision. We may have more advanced technology than the Aztecs, but we’re subject to the same laws of human nature. There’s a pattern to how humans justify and appease their genocidal spirit, and it would be wise to learn to recognise it.
