One of the very human things that happens when you evolve beyond ideas about the divine (God) is the heady rush to replace that with something else—cults of personality, hobby obsessions, substance abuse, Scientism, even the god King without God, or climate change—where you are god.
The idea that puny humans are altering the planet is a great way to scare the small-minded and launder money, but it also creates a false god. You. You are unmaking a world, you stud. Now stop it – as if the world couldn’t shake you off faster than a bad habit. But they have a plan. It’s a pantheon arrangement where some gods are better than others (they have all the stuff and power). It’ll be great for them, and all we have to do is not think about what we had to give up to save the world and, every now and again, to thank them. They might expect bowing or kneeling at some point down the road.
That’s the current arc. The climate revolution is a journey to a world with oligarchic god-kings whose splendor is an example to the rest of us disarmed on subsistence living in our walkable open-air prisons – and a recent pronouncement by the International Union of Geological Sciences commission isn’t likely to change that, but it does put some gum in the works. Everything climate change is based on the idea that human beings are more powerful than 4.5 billion years of Earth doing what it did for 99.999% of the time, without us. And that with a little more of your money (just like public education), they can fix it.
You’d have to have a god complex to think like this, and that’s been the justification for the Anthropocene, the human era—the geological age of modern man-made climate narratives.
The highest governing body in geology has upheld a contested vote by scientists against adding the Anthropocene, or human age, to the official timeline of Earth’s history.
The vote, which a committee of around two dozen scholars held in February, brought an end to nearly 15 years of debate about whether to declare that our species had transformed the natural world so thoroughly since the 1950s as to have sent the planet into a new epoch of geologic time.”
Nope.
We’re still in the Holocene, which began 11,700 years ago with the melting of the ice sheets. Bad news for the Climate Cult. It suggests that melting ice sheets and warming are normal (they are). It also erases the geologic human era, which means that the International Union of Geological Sciences is in desperate need of infiltration and subjugation. We can’t have a bunch of scientists messing with The Concensus™. That just won’t do.

I’m sure there is a movement afoot to address this. Perhaps the Union of Concerned Scientists—which is mostly a bunch of partisan progressive political hacks carrying bags of cash out of the climate laundromat—will publish a report on why we ARE in the Anthropocene. It’ll be as inaccurate as every other report they’ve published, but that’s not the point. Saturating the human world with the correct sound bites is what matters – while labeling everything contrary (like Geologists implying there’s no evidence of human geologic influence) disinformation.
They’ll fix this; just wait.
Until then, enjoy the moment. It’s not likely to last.
