"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it." - John Lennon

Delightful read, even if it addresses a sordid topic. Amongst the thoughts you’ve provoked are:

- Surely this must be considered as an aspect of a broader Malthusian agenda, as adding significant costs to energy for a phantom menace will act to stifle economic activity; and

- “The carbon credit scam is just another chapter in the long book of human greed dressed up as virtue” and the Matrix allusion brings to mind our narcissistic culture; this does remind of Christopher Lasch’s writing.
