Our lie about nature is that there is no global warming, or that if there is global warming, there is no technological solution. Unlike Hitler, some of the fossil oligarchs who sponsor this lie are motivated by the desire for profit. They finance propaganda instructing us that hydrocarbons are safe and that renewables are risky. Some of them share Hitler’s view of life as conflict: they imagine that when the catastrophe comes, their money will allow them to escape, or that their race will be spared.
