I spent two days at the WSSD and everywhere saw science cringing before superstition, reason retreating from irrationalism, and capitalism grovelling before fascism. Technologies which promise to eradicate poverty and improve the environment were timid and apologetic if they were present at all. The new apocalyptic religion of climate change was proclaimed everywhere and demanded blind, unquestioning acceptance. Africa itself was treated with condescending contempt by Europeans bringing windmills and other disastrously expensive and unsuitable technologies.
