There is an innate belief in apocalypse.
They don’t believe the Bible anymore so they believe a novel apocalyptic scenario.
I don’t think the elites believe in the apocalyptic scenario; Obama bought a beach house for millions. Do you think he really believes a rising ocean is going to swallow his investment?
They don’t give up their limos or jets, or the private homes they buy for themselves but would deny us. No, they don’t believe a word of it.
“Global warming”/”climate change” is pushed because as the West has sent its jobs to Asia, the rising middle classes there will want the same trappings of middle-class life previously enjoyed in the West - specifically private homes, automobiles, and children. The 1%ers see no other way to head this off than to deprive the Western middle classes of those things - that is their goal.
