This world view and thought process became forged in the halls of Darwinism, where man chose to delude himself with the fantasy that somehow he has been his own creator with the powers to control his own "evolution." -- and now his environment -- and his "risks" which mus now be solved by the political "scientists."
Man's elevated sense of self worth goes on further with the "master of his Universe delusion" to believe he will harness the imagined forces of such things as AGW with what are in the end nothing more than political solutions trumpeted in "News-speak" and unhinged from reality or real scientific data that doesn't fit "the premise."
Social Darwinism takes on a whole new shape, and has already had many of its deadly out-workings thereof in the 20th century, but whether medical fears, supposed evolutionary "advacements" to solve them, or AGW it's the identical thought process throughtout, which drives the world view -- and the political agenda.
Where the serach for truth dies, Freedom dies with it. The first victim is truth. The final victim is freedom.
