They would have you believe that it is our best interests they have at heart, and it is all scientific based reasoning as they look to promote their theories and ideas while all the time looking for the next award for publishing their papers, receiving more money for research and patting themselves on the back.
[The Immanent Frame] The Immanent Frame » A genuine “theologico-political” phenomenon: Political theologies are not simply reactive, and their meaning and potential strength are not a reaction to—let alone function of—the impasse and impotence of secularist thinking. I believe (or would like to think) that there is some intrinsic value and internal coherence, as well as a remarkable insistence and resilience, to Obama’s theologico-political outlook and the practical politics and policy prescriptions it implies, that is to say, presupposes and makes possible, invites and inspires.

Regardless of the human-forced calamities ” the ones derived from unchecked consumption, unbridled dissipation of resources bound up in the process of economic globalization, and skyrocketing global human numbers ” that might befall coming generations, we live on in a patently unsustainable fantasy world (we call it reality) of idle comforts, effortless ease, conspicuous consumption, secret handshakes, exclusive clubs, exotic hideaways and thousands of private jets, having abandoned our regard for the less fortunate among us, for the maintenance of life as we know it, and for the preservation of the integrity of Earth.
