What was done in relation to covid, including the release of the virus itself, the lockdowns, curfews, movement restrictions, the pcr tests, the masks, the injections and everything else was a series of crimes against humanity. It affected me personally greatly and so did it affect many other people, and so far there has been no acknowledgement of the damage and no reparations. They knew perfectly what they were doing and yet they did it because they could; they weren't just being cautious. It's like claiming that Hitler was just trying to protect and help the German people, oh, the poor guy.
The current attacks on individual liberty are horrible. Without individuals, there cannot be family nor society.
I do not accept judgement from those in power on how I am doing my part in leaving the world (planet and society) in a reasonable condition for future generations, in part because I believe those doing the judging are doing a very poor job themselves. I don't claim to be perfect, but I am the underdog, and they are the ones in power.
I don't know what the "short term economic imperative" means, but it looks like the people in power need to keep destroying the planet and the society to stay in power, while they put on the sheep costume and pretend they "care" about the planet. Bitcoin will shift that in due course, but it requires a huge shift in people. It's happening very slowly, but it's happening.
With Covid some people were a lot more vulnerable than others and the exact nature of the virus was a moving target constantly changing - so some medical authorities and governments took an overly cautious approach.
Millions did die.
Millions were also saved via vaccines and lock downs.
With climate change there are similarities for sure.
It is very hard to know the exact extent and nature of the risk climate change poses because the climate is such a complex interactive mechanism, but imo a cautious approach is justified because otherwise you might not know until it is too late...if it is not already.
The scientists talk about tipping points where arctic tundra 'permafrost' starts melting (it already is in places) and methane is releases in huge quantities triggering a spiraling vortex of GHG emissions beyond the control of anyone.
Do you think we have the right to endanger to future viability of the climate for human life and habitation based on short term economic imperative, or are we responsible to some extent to leave the planet in as reasonable condition as we can for future generations?
