Michel Houellebecq: "A civilization which legalizes euthanasia loses all rights to respect"
New journey through the ideological madness of the present time.
Today, detour through the world of political ecology.
The media column is brightened daily by the involuntarily humorous outings of the EELV party supposed to embody ecology.
This article refrains from recalling them exhaustively as they abound.
On Monday, we doom the Tour de France.
Tuesday is the Christmas tree that we want to uproot from the annual tradition.
On Wednesdays, 5G is only useful for shooting pornographic films in an elevator.
Thursday is less pleasant since it is at the Great Mosque of the Ottoman Sultan that we would like to pay some money.
On Fridays, it is the flying clubs whose wings are cut off and the children who are deprived of dreams at altitude.
On Saturdays, it is the sailing boats that consume too much energy do not deserve any subsidy.
On Sunday the tired blunderer takes a break.
We will notice how the ecological party remains indifferent to animal suffering.
In the societal field, the so-called environmentalist party is clearly Islamogauchist.
This is how Julien Bayou was very obsequious about the very controversial judicial decision rendered putting at least provisionally an end to the Koubili Traore trial, the assassin of Sarah Halimi.
On December 15, 2016, the same had shown himself to be less respectful towards another court decision concerning the namesakes of the aforementioned criminal: “
the Traoré brothers (Youssouf and Bagui) convicted on simple suspicion… terrible news.
No justice, no peace.

Outside the country, the imprecations of an angry Swedish child question more the state of senility of a Western society which listens to her with a serious stiffness and without a critical mind, rather than her psychological problems.
We remember the way in which in Davos she showed herself more angry towards a country like France which was far more respectful of the environment than a China which she treated with reverent silence.
Moreover, we will notice to what extent the ecological party remains indifferent to animal suffering.
At this stage, allow the author of this article to narrate the funny as well as revealing incident which opposed him to the Secretary of State for Ecological Transition Brune Poirson who has just announced that he is giving up politics. .

Babeau: “Do we really need political ecology?”
The affair takes place during the scorching summer of the year 2020. Although the television studio is air-conditioned, the spirits heat up a little because of the link which is made perhaps a little quickly between the summer heatwave and global warming, as many experts will later notice.
It is at this point that I allow myself to respectfully question this member of the government.
I go there slowly, because I know the minefield.
I sincerely indicate that I believe in global warming, which allows me to hope not to be immediately tidied up in the climate-skeptics' leper colony.
I then indicate that I believe in the link between global warming and human activity.
However, I have the folly to wonder about the difficulty in quantifying the importance of this role.
The high priests and petty clerics of political ecology, beyond being often ridiculous and obtuse, are no less dangerous.
From that moment, my fate is sealed.
I am stunned and promised eternal flames at the stake, which in hot weather is not very enviable.
Barely returned to her ministry, that Ms. Poirson means on Twitter that she considers my comments as truly criminal.
I am telling my reader about this incident from which I have since recovered to show with this little story how much any talk outside the official millimeter discourse is criminalized for the crime of heresy.
Political ecology has in fact become an intolerant religious ideology.
His high priests and his little clerics, beyond being often ridiculous and obtuse, are no less dangerous.
At this stage, and it was in reality the primary goal of this column, I wanted to praise the work which has just appeared by Christian Gerondeau, aptly titled: “
La religion ecologiste
” (the Gunner).
The author is not just anyone.
Some people remember that he was undoubtedly the Road Safety Delegate who made the most impression.
A polytechnic engineer, he has worked on environmental issues for over ten years and has published many highly regarded books.
His documented and argued book shakes the dogmas imposed by the ecological religion.

"Political ecology leads to an environmental catastrophe"
His thesis is as follows: The average temperature of the planet has increased by around 1 ° C for a century and a half.
According to the IPCC, whose political actions it denounces through examples as tasty as they are indisputable, the main cause of this increase is CO2 of human origin.
To save the planet from an imminent catastrophe, it would therefore be necessary to reduce its emissions.
It is with this conviction that the Citizen's Climate Convention has set itself the objective of reducing our national emissions by 40%.
An enormous effort as much as impossible for France (at an enormous cost) which however only corresponds to 0.25% of global emissions.
In other words, for nothing.
If we are afraid, it is because we are afraid because fear distorts judgment.
Because it is no longer the Western countries that count, but India, China, and tomorrow Africa, all of which have a vital need for oil and natural gas to lift their populations out of poverty.
Official projections from these countries show that global CO2 emissions will inexorably continue to grow.
Should we then fear catastrophe, asks Gerondeau?
No, he replied: there was four times more CO2 in the atmosphere in the time of the dinosaurs and everything was fine.
If we are afraid, it is because we are afraid because fear distorts judgment.
And the high priests of a catastrophic vision of humanity, who have dominated for half a century at the UN, know this very well.
Yet it should only be science.
Can humans act on the climate?
As a candid Boeotian, I questioned an intolerant as well as incompetent minister.
As a scientist and on the basis of the IPCC's own figures, Christian Gerondeau shows that this is not the case.
His book deserves an honest and open review.
Ecology is too serious a science to be left in the hands of leftist activists, mad collapsologists and petty politicians.
