RE: Seeking hard targets on biodiversity. A CP story by Bob Weber. The Hamilton Spectator 5 Dec 22.
The earth once had trilobites, dinosaurs, sabre-toothed cats and woolly mammoths. They’re long gone. Mass die-offs occur all the time. There are thought to have been five major mass extinctions in earth’s history, and none of these are attributable to the wickedness of man. Which brings us to COP15 that holds that a mass extinction is occurring and that man, or at least the attendees, given enough money and power, can put a stop to it.
No doubt COP15 will recommend fossil fuels for extinction, even though rising CO2 levels are an unmitigated boon to plant life. Plant life being the basis for all the world’s food chains, without plants there’d be no animal life on earth either. The relationship between vigorous plant growth and animal life escapes the attention of the likes of Extinction Rebellion.
There’s nothing special about the set of particular species presently existing on earth, except for the human species. And that’s the one that is targeted for extinction. The enemy is western civilization and the enlightenment, which have enabled the human species to increase in number to eight billion. “Ecojustice” demands that this number be reduced by 75 percent by the year 2100 – to save the planet! A reduction in number by 75 percent in 80 years is considered to be a mass die-off. But that’s the goal.
You won’t have lithium batteries if all the
children of Africa are dead, and China doesn’t care. The means of maintaining biodiversity runs
through the extinction of western civilizations, the enlightenment, and
ultimately of the human species. And the attendees all agree they need more money and power.
