Big Climate Engineer

Yesterday evening I was at an event at the British Embassy in Oslo. The topic of the lecture was the "UK's contribution in the international effort to define and control Climate changes."

Modernity will not leave us alone.

If you thought government is at least omnipotent enough now, think again.

If you thought we had learnt something about government control with the collapse of the Soviet Union, think again.

If you thought government would lean less on you in times coming up, think again.

We have Big Father, the Provider State, or the "Welfare State," Big Mother, the Nanny State, and Big Brother, the Surveillance and Database State.

You might think Big Sister is next, but what really is next is Big Climate Engineer.

Heaven help us!
