Climate crisis

(Hat-tip Chris)

George Monbiot explains the paralysis that grips the inhabitants of the planet in the face of climate collapse.

"Humankind’s greatest crisis coincides with the rise of an ideology that makes it impossible to address. By the late 1980s, when it became clear that manmade climate change endangered the living planet and its people, the world was in the grip of an extreme political doctrine, whose tenets forbid the kind of intervention required to arrest it."

He's looking at himself and other believers in the new religion - don't worry about the facts or that science thing. It's all about the vibe of the thing (hattip: Dennis Dennuto).
