Try this out as a thought experiment: what would happen if, tomorrow
morning, we had definitive proof that catastrophic climate change was
impossible, wasn’t happening, and would never happen. Would Al Gore
breathe a big sigh of relief and say—“Well good; now we can go back to
worrying about smoking, or bad inner city schools, or other persistent, immediate problems.”
Of course not. The general reaction from environmentalists and the
left would be a combination of outrage and despair. The need to believe
in oneself as part of the agency of human salvation runs deep for
leftists and environmentalists who have made their obsessions a secular
religion. And humanity doesn’t need salvation if there is no sin in the
first place. Hence human must be sinners—somehow—in need of redemption
from the left.
