I wonder if attitudes to climate change have germinated on the West's post Christian values. We're largely a secular society now, but carbon emissions are akin to a sin that must be atoned for by cutting them. If it is unpleasant, almost better - sin must not be merely repented but also atoned. If we don't, we will meet a just punishment for our sin. Studying workaround or saying some things are OK is no use, as sin is absolutely bad and can't have upsides. I initially thought it's maybe a bit far fetched but think also: - how dogmatic and aggressive some people are about climate change. - how climate change is much bigger an issue in the West (in general perception) than elsewhere - how more Christian people seem to care less about climate change None of it is about the hard science of it, fwiw I think we're screwed and need to think hard about our survival as a species. But the article does touch on a nerve of the dogma of climate change discussion.
