2020: the year the environmental movement was destroyed

In 2019 it was cool to be vegan. Acceptance and adoption was rapidly growing and the mainstream health institutions, grudgingly, accepted the evidence on the benefits of a whole food plant based diet. The environmental movement was gaining momentum and the climate crisis was discussed on mainstream news.

Fast forward to 2024 and environmentalists are hypocrites. Jordan Peterson gets millions of hits for saying up yours to woke vegans and the amount of climate crisis coverage on MSM is inversely proportional to the global temperature.

What happened?

Here’s how the 1% in Big Money used ‘covid’ to create mistrust of ‘the science’ and stir up opposition to any left wing government measures for the climate crisis.

Here’s how they created the legitimacy for ‘covid’ measures in the first place.

Here’s how they used popular figures like JP to cast doubt on climate science.

Here’s how they created political opposition to even small changes like ULEZ (let alone the structural changes actually required, such as removing the wealth from the 1%).

Here’s how they turned ‘equality’ into a dirty word.

Here’s how the science on diet was deliberately misrepresented by farming industry funded Weston A Price.

Here’s how ‘health freedom’ was deliberately targeted with misleading studies casting doubt on the evidence of saturated fat and heart disease that were originally funded by dairy and meat marketing boards.

Here’s how they created sinophobia and fear of communism and social credits (although China has no such system).

Carbon emissions and animal agriculture’s profits are still growing, the Paris agreement has failed and many have been fooled into believing that the climate crisis is a hoax by imaginary globalists/communists/rainbow flag waving vegans.

Those of us on team science are as stunned by those with unshakeable beliefs in vaccines and medicines as we are by those who won’t acknowledge what carbon emissions are doing.

It seems to be a small team.
