The idea that people are less important than a piece of dirt is useful - to some.
Of course, it can't actually be sold to us like that. It needs to be turned onto it's head into a 'movement of the People' clamouring against 'vested interests' in Government and industry.
It is undeniable that energy is an important factor in the global geopolitical landscape. It is also very important in the relationships between ordinary people and those who wield (far too much) control over our lives.
We are all highly dependent on energy in it's various forms. This fact is not lost on those who seek to extend their power and control over us.
How to justify restricting our access to abundant and cheap energy? As ever, use a 'noble lie' so that it appears that making life more impoverished, dependent and guilt ridden is actually a fine, principled approach to creating the correct 'balance' taking all factors into account - not least - the dirt at your feet.

Unable to cover those up States around the world have created a new way to generate the income by lurching to the other extreme - all in an honest attempt to 'protect' us from ourselves, of course.

The right way to tackle material problems - using human centered science, technology and innovation - something that only human beings are capable of
In the deliberately confused world of science and society you'll find scientists discovering new and innovative ways to deal with the world's issues. What has to be contended with though is the political context that the science takes place within.
The UN is behind this project:
which is one reason why it's existence will be drowned out from the din of 'Eco Warriors'
People are the solution, not the problem.

Of course the headlines don't want us to see it that way ...
But read to the end and it's quite a different perspective:
“There is only one institution in the world with the capital, expertise and resources to dispose of carbon dioxide on the necessary scale, and that is the fossil fuel industry. We have to work out how to give it the incentive to do so.”
How often is that pushed as the headline story?

They want your "friends" to tell you how it is.
They force you to hand over your money (tax) and then use it to make you feel guilty for existing. Mind controlling the cult is an ongoing process that will adopt the latest technology and social trends to adapt to changing circumstances. New forms, old ideas.
