You need to ask that question to the climate activists. GP didn't mention himself being one, it might not be applicable to him.



I think climate change is a very important problem, too important to be left to “climate activists.” The environmental movement totally screwed us in the 1970s by lashing climate-change activism to anti-nuclear and degrowth. The only politically feasible way of addressing climate change is to grow and engineer our way out of it. Even leaving aside people in the developed world, people in India and China will not accept that the solution for them is to delay or avoid industrialization and remain subsistence farmers.
