“The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield, and government to gain ground.”
― Thomas Jefferson, Letters of Thomas Jefferson

“There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”
― Ayn Rand

   “The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.”

Everything in moderation, including moderation

Julia Child

“Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil.”
― Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain

 Of course there is Climate change. Question is if there was always climate change or this is completely new. 

The rate of disaster is not happening. Al Gore predictions didn't pan out that we know.

2020 was a year that people flew less , drove less, etc.. the results are out, no big change in CO2. Strange.

Acid rain in Europe ( in the 80's)didn't happen.

Mad cow disease didn't happen to the extent that people predicted. Far from that. 

I am totally pro saving nature, I am a cyclist I love to be in the mountains etc... The only hope for nature is technology,  going back to the middle ages is stupid. Wind is a middle age technology.

“Do you remember the things you were worrying about a year ago? How did they work out? Didn't you waste a lot of fruitless energy on account of most of them? Didn't most of them turn out all right after all?”
― Dale Carnegie

 A lot of people know things, facts but they never thought about what works, why some people succeed and others struggle . Some people can't figure out that if they are doing the same  as everybody else they are easily replaced. They are not unique or special.

“The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.”
