Thank you! I expect for some time this evolution .... I am sure that very very quickly we shall replace the 21th century with the 14th century as the common name of the present time (in Europe in that century they also had a pandemic, they had wars, they lived very ”sustainable”, they had a ”dogma” and servants of it and...they were happy). At least some people will embrace this new ”thesis” and that is frightening, scarry ... I am keeping wondering when this decline in understanding had started at the level of society, because there are not few individuals thinking that way, on the contrary. Once again, thank you!
So, we're back to the Middle Ages because why not? I hadn't thought of that parallel. I don't know when it started. I can only remember clearly back to the 90s and I do remember climate alarm back then but nowhere near today's scale. I guess it accelerated with time and declining educational standards coupled with the advent of social media, which produced the sort of generation that actually believes CO2 will kill us all in 12 years. Not that older generations have been spared. I see plenty of alarmists in my age group of 40+, too.

Irina are you familiar with the work of Simon Michaux ? interesting reading -
I am not, no, but I will look him up. Thank you for the recommendation.
After all, food sanitation provided by plastic wrappings and containers should be considered this era’s DDT.
Maybe you could become the Rachel Carson of our generation, Irina.
How could I forget food wrappings!
"The UN's Antonio Guterres said this week plastics are a threat to human rights"
You lost me at "The UN's Antonio Guterres"...:-)
:D You know how it is in media -- we don't make the news, we just report on it... Some of us, that is.
