Viscount Monckton, fond of announcing that he is a member of the House of Lords and winner of the Nobel Prize, now finds himself embroiled in a growing scandal surrounding The Galileo Movement , the well known climate changer denier group that says global warming is a JEWISH conspiracy.
Malcolm Roberts, the managing director of the group recently told Ben Cubby of Australia's biggest daily, the Sydney Morning Herald, that climate change science has been "captured" by some of the world's major "banking families" who form a "tightly-knit cabal".
These "dog whistle" phrases are well known for being coded references to the old faked book, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a text that claims Jewish bankers are conspiring to take over the world and much used by Hitler to justify the Holocaust.

High Modernity may have started the war convinced that Nature had been conquered and was about to be soon replaced by human Synthetic Autarky and that only human Tiger tanks and human Typhoon planes were to be feared. But by the end, more and more people had lost their naive faith in Scientism and were beginning to accept that humanity was thoroughly entangled with both the Nature of plants, animals & microbes as well as the Nature of so called “lesser” humanity. By 1965, the world was definitely entering the Age of Entanglement. Billions still believed - at least in part -with the promises of High Modernity but intellectually & emotionally, it was no longer dominant...
