polluting planet as reviled as slavery

Five years ago I posted about a comparison of global warming activists to 19th Century Abolitionists.  I wrote a chapter of a novel making that point more clear.  Todays "Warmists" will someday be compared to the 19th Century Abolitionists, fighting an opposition to oil and gas companies like Abolitionists fought against slaveholders.

I found out about that time that Chris Hayes, of MSNBC, also made the same comparison.  Now that comparison has been made by David Attenborough.

The attitude of young people towards tackling the environmental crisis is “a source of great hope”, David Attenborough has told MPs, as he predicted that polluting the planet would soon provoke as much abhorrence as slavery

Asked by the Labour MP Vernon Coaker to expand on how public attitudes were shifting, Attenborough replied: “There was a time in the 19th century when it was perfectly acceptable for civilised human beings to think that it was morally acceptable to actually own another human being for a slave. And somehow or other, in the space of 20 or 30 years, the public perception of that totally transformed.”

He said: “I suspect that we are right now in the beginning of a big change. Young people in particular are the stimulus that’s bringing it about

I believe that the global warming opponents, like Donald Trump, and the Republican Party, will be reviled as worse than any other group of people in the history of the human race.
