Trump's science-denying fanatics are bad enough. Yet even our climate solutions' are now the stuff of total delusion | George Monbiot
Briefly

"Power in the United States will soon be shared between people who believe they will ascend to sit at the right hand of God, perhaps after a cleansing apocalypse; and people who believe their consciousness will be uploaded on to machines in a great Singularity."
"The Christian rapture and the tech rapture are essentially the same belief. Both are examples of substance dualism: the idea that the mind or soul can exist in a realm separate from the body."
"You can see it in the British government's carbon capture and storage scheme, a new fossil fuel project that will greatly raise emissions but is dressed up as a climate solution."
