Trust the science, people are told, even unsound and deceptive science. Real science evolves, it is never set in stone. Science is flawed when based on faulty computer models or the scientist(s) are paid by a lobbying group to arrive at a pre-determined result.
Hysteria in the mainstream media reached a crescendo of Armageddon warnings that the planet is doomed by fossil fuel use, either freezing or warming, depending on which decade the dire warnings were lobbed at frightened and very gullible humans.
In the meantime, the elites forecasting Armageddon were living in their own massive carbon footprint mansions, flying in their private jets, sailing around the world in their yachts, building more extravagant huge villas by the sea, while telling the rest of us to live in tiny dwellings, drive electric cars people could not afford to purchase, commute by train, bike to work, walk everywhere, reduce individual carbon footprint, recycle everything, and stop eating meat.
California’s Democrat government declared a ban on gasoline powered cars and shortly after demanded that
electric vehicles not be charged from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. because of the risk of power grid failure followed by rolling blackouts.
In Jackson, Mississippi,
150,000 residents were left without running water, a water infrastructure collapse caused by “decades of deferred maintenance” in a city run by Democrats. If they cannot have clean water, is there hope for underdeveloped countries?
The United Nations introduced its
Agenda 21 in 1992, with its 40 chapters, after years of creating many variants of the document, and was voted and signed onto by 178 countries that agreed to follow its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. United Nations says that the document was non-binding yet in 30 years since its signing, it has been adopted in every country on the planet at all levels of government - local, state, and federal.
Advertising agencies, promoted by U.N.’s non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the MSM picked up these goals, talked them up non-stop and soon key words became part of everything society does – commerce, art, production, public education, higher education, science, politics, advertising, health, medicine, drugs, food, religion, transportation, etc. Everything we have been doing for centuries became sustainable or unsustainable overnight. Even clothing became sustainable and morally produced. If those words did not appear in the description of a product or service, then the public was supposed to consider it bad.
Sustainable Development (SD) became the lynchpin of transforming society into the “vision” of the global elites for more than 7 billion people. The global elites knew what was best for them and 17 SD goals had to be achieved by 2030, hence its new name, Agenda 2030.
