Sydney, Australia declared a climate emergency in a move eerily similar to the one last week by Canada. From this and other considerations one can draw certain conclusions.
The climate emergency business is being pushed behind the scenes by some political movement. That hundreds of cities around the world, meaning the English-speaking world, would declare climate emergencies does not happen spontaneously or by accident.
The declaration is nothing but fatuous virtue-signalling. Australia is a country of 25 million people that contributes 1.0 percent of the world’s annual CO2 emissions. Like Canada, there is nothing Australia can do to stop the train.
These importunate demands for virtue-signalling is a sign of a religious movement losing confidence in its hold over people. It thinks that by strenuous re-affirmation of its beliefs that will somehow lead to the action they want.
