British Government promises a "Circular, zero waste economy"

"We have no time to waste. We are living in a climate crisis that will spiral dangerously out of control unless we take rapid and dramatic action now," Corbyn told Parliament. "Today, we have the opportunity to say, 'We hear you' ... By becoming the first parliament in the world to declare a climate emergency, we could, and I hope we do, set off a wave of action from parliaments and governments all around the world."

Analyzing this social development, I am amazed by the strength of the British and American peoples demand for an unreal, pure, zero net-energy and water economy. The politicians are taking up this popular protest and enacting strict regulations. Personally I am convinced that the sense of pollution and urgent need of "purification" has no material basis, and the regulations only make life more difficult and expensive, but the people want it. 

Why? One reason is the environmental education from kindergarten. Another is the eternal hostility toward industry, agriculture and the rich in general. The third reason is the lack of real dangers, or new ideologies (they are coming back to failed socialism, of all social systems) and possibly the fear of technology. There is no doubt that genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, space exploration (the suspicious Oumuamua object) are positing new unknowns and risks. But fear of the unknown never stopped the Polynesians exploring the immense Pacific in their fragile canoes, or the Manhattan Trinidad explosion (that may have pulverized the planet). Maybe all the existing emotion and passionate protests could be focused on a good war, and I hope we shall not be turned into the hated enemy.

The past is not encouraging for us Jews. When they are searching for a diabolic enemy, they always find us.
