A commentary by a Victoria resident.
First Dave Obee’s cri de coeur over the SUV tire vandals, and then Saturday’s dire warning about more protests if “we do not act on climate.” It is enough to drive us to despair, despondency and disillusion.
My despondency arises from the distraction all this hot air about climate catastrophe removes from far worse evils, like social disintegration, and its companion, war. It is quite clear that some influential people do not give tuppence for science if it comes from the wrong source, like a chief medical officer instead of from Facebook. And yet others will absorb uncritically pronouncements from those who call themselves scientists but use language that reflects an opinion not different from that of a high priest.
But in the meantime, climate which has changed incessantly over the last five or six billion years is now deemed as a worthwhile target for more stability through human intervention.
