If not, why not? The world’s eco-anxiety over “climate change” has turned into a totally irrational eco-panic.
Entire government agencies are being weaponized to eliminate farming and transportation. Because “climate change.” And if anyone contradicts the climate change religion, he is ridiculed, demonized, silenced and then canceled.
The following news is not new. It has been known since 2016. Summarizes Matt Ridley, “Green vegetation is changing faster than global average temperatures.” And the change is upward, not the other way around. The world is much greener.
The evidence comes from the growth rate of plants and from satellite data: a 14% increase in green vegetation over 30 years, thanks to...guess what? An increase of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.
Lead author on the study, Zaichun Zhu of Beijing University, says this is equivalent to adding a new continent of green vegetation twice the size of the mainland United States.
It is past time to turn off the eco-panic. Desertification of our planet has now largely reversed. This is because plants lose less water in the process of absorbing carbon dioxide if the concentration of carbon dioxide is higher.
This “global greening” has affected all ecosystems for the better — from arctic tundra to coral reefs to plankton to tropical rain forests and, of course, farms. It is our fear-gripped, self-righteous politicians who are harming our planet and designing for us a bleak future on a barren landscape.

"We are smack in the middle of a Fourth Turning, and the turmoil of it all has affected the entire West. Over the last five years, virtually every major institution has disgraced itself. What used to be a high-trust society has been blown to smithereens, and nobody knows what to think anymore. And even when an individual person’s convictions haven’t changed, despite the societal turmoil, it is very difficult to know who to think those convictions with. This implosion of all the trusted institutions and relationships has of course included those of us on the political right.
"...So what am I saying? When being normal is weird, be normal. When being normal is normal, remember why you should be normal, and be prepared to defend it, which cannot be done apart from Christ. And when being normal is weird, don’t be extra weird. Be extra normal. Normal you say? By what standard? To the law and to the testimony. Exactly so."

“The decline of community in the modern world has as its inevitable religious consequence the creation of masses of helpless, bewildered individuals who are unable to find solace in Christianity regarded merely as creed.”

American diplomacy should continue to stand up for genuine democracy, freedom of expression, and unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history. America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote this revival of spirit, and the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed gives cause for great optimism. Our goal should be to help Europe correct its current trajectory.
