RADICAL ENVIRONMENTALISTS WARN OF END TIMES

The very real Covid crisis has fused with the politicised crisis of the ‘climate emergency’ to generate the increasingly authoritarian idea that it is only by tempering the brutish, greedy instincts of the human species that we can ‘save the planet’. As leading green hysteric George Monbiot argued, mere days into the first Covid lockdown, back in March 2020, ‘Covid-19 is nature’s wake-up call to our complacent civilisation’. You and I saw a virus that mankind should urgently tackle; eco-doomsters saw yet another prophecy of mankind’s diseased, destructive impact on poor Mother Earth.
