Governments can no longer sit and just watch this eco-fascism take over.

Looking at the news coverage, a very profound realisation has occurred and it is this: most governments will be horrified by at least some aspect of this encyclical.
Basically it is nuts. And to be frank it seems many governments have gone along with these nutty ideas because they couldn’t see the harm in pandering to a few environmentalists as it kept a sizeable – but deluded number of their electorate content.
In other words, governments have tolerated this rising eco-fascism that has created a whole industry of green blobbiests who more and more try to dictate everything we do.
So, far from unite the world into action to “end fossil fuels”, a far more likely outcome appears to me that governments will end their toleration of the eco-fascist elements that have allowed these nutty ideas to flourish and seem to be advising the pope.
We’ve already seen countries like India moving against “Greenspin”. The UK government is ending onshore wind subsidies. Germany is increasing coal use. That is the real world. What the pope represents is a fictional idea of the world where energy is produced by magic where changing to bio-fuels does not lead to mass starvation of the poor.
The pope’s “vision” represents the worst possible scenario for the world: a utopian anti-science vision that not only fails to reduce CO2 but because of the stupid ideas it contains, will likely leads to mass starvation and then wars. In short, it is like Stalin’s five year plans – a great idea for the intellectuals to discuss at dinner – but appalling for those that suffer its implementation.
So, basically, I think this encyclical will be a wake-up call. The silent sensible majority will view it with horror and resolve to severely reduce the power and influence of the “grand-plan” eco-fascists whose ideas the pope now so enthusiastically proclaims.
