Scientists tend to back centre-left liberal parties - yet those same policies drive inequality and environmental breakdown
Why are the planet’s smartest people defending business as usual?
#ClimateCrisis#PoliticalEconomy#LiberalHypocrisy
Scientists overwhelmingly support centre-left liberal politics - but do those economic policies actually reduce inequality or protect the planet?
A look at why “business as usual” survives even among society’s smartest people

Many on the modern right assume technology will save us
They show little concern for nature itself
But if ecosystems collapse, the political argument ends - no more debate

Outlining the ludicrous political "choice" we have over the environment
To see:
1. Why the planet needs a revolution
2. Why that needs to be science led
3. Why science itself needs a revolution to guide that process

Calling populist voters idiots misses the point
Neurology shows how long-term exclusion changes how brains process cost–benefits - people want to burn the system down rather than live in permanent insecurity.
It's biology not ideology

Scientists say they shouldn't speak about politics. But when physical laws dictate economic limits, silence becomes ideological. We can’t grow forever. We can’t allow unlimited wealth.
That’s not opinion—that’s science.

Scientists talk about mining asteroids like it’s around the corner.
Reality: we’ve collected 250 grams so far.
The tech we’d need is decades away—well after climate breakdown.

Are electric vehicles a big con?
EVs give barely any ecological benefits and cause infrastructure damage. The main beneficiaries are big car companies generating sales on the back of people's environmental concerns.

Why do media scientists repeatedly fail to address a basic understanding of climate and science - economic growth is incompatible with human sustainability. Media scientists will not challenge economic orthodoxy

Here I discuss cognitive dissonance inside academia - featuring a scientist who admitted he watered down his real views so he didn’t seem “weird”

@ramez There are also non-market solutions to human problems that would also be ecologically sustainable and wouldn't be frogmarching us towards civilizational collapse.
