What do you mean by "pretend ecological issues?" Climate control isn't an ideology it's a necessity created by failed policies. Climate change doesn't care about your political or economic ideology.



The idea that the Earth is warming and ecological systems are changing is Climate Change. There seems to be evidence and scientific consensus behind the fact that humans are playing a part.

On the other hand, the people proclaiming that humans are inherently bad for the planet, that we need to have fewer children, tear down our economic system and eat a plant-based diet aren’t practicing “Climate Science”. They are ideologues. You can spot them from a distance because they’re the ones against Nuclear Power, Desalination, GMOs, and other solutions don’t require require society to subscribe to their social framework. When people like me say we’re skeptical of Climate Science, we’re usually referring to the latter and not the former.


Climate control ideology grows right out of "climate change doesn't care about you*". This happens precisely because people like yourself wield "climate change" politically, and thus give power to groups that pretend to care about your concerns.

Ecologies are important discussions, science is an important argument, and weaponizing climate change is basic ideology at work (same as all pseudo protectionist politics).
