On ne manque pas de sorties délirantes sur les changements climatiques, mais à l’approche de la #cop21 ça atteint des sommets. Ainsi Timothy Snyder, professeur à Yale, établit un parallèle entre changements climatiques et nazisme.
The Next Genocide

Hitler spread ecological panic by claiming that only land would bring Germany security and by denying the science [i.e., agricultural technology] that promised alternatives to war. By polluting the atmosphere with greenhouse gases, the United States has done more than any other nation to bring about the next ecological panic, yet it is the only country where climate science is still resisted by certain political and business elites. These deniers tend to present the empirical findings of scientists as a conspiracy and question the validity of science — an intellectual stance that is uncomfortably close to Hitler’s.

Hitler denied that science could solve the basic problem of nutrition, but assumed that technology could win territory. It seemed to follow that waiting for research was pointless and that immediate military action was necessary. In the case of climate change, the denial of science likewise legitimates military action rather than investment in technology.
