The climate is changing, here is the real Donald effect: the idiots have disappeared

They may still be the Latest Generation, but they are certainly no longer the latest fashion. With the cry of "Drill, baby Drill" - come on, beauty, drill - with which he relaunched drilling to produce more coal, Donald Trump has put the followers of Greta Thumberg, also disappeared, swallowed up by a keffiyeh in one of her pro-Hamas demonstrations, in the attic.

What happened to our ultra-environmentalists, those of civil disobedience, who stuck their hands and feet to the highway, paralyzing traffic, or who smeared works of art with paint? They ran out of gas. They wanted to sensitize Italians to the problem of global warming, but they instead succeeded in exasperating even those with green fingers.

Even Angelo Bonelli and Nicola Fratoianni hardly pay any attention to them anymore. Not to mention the grillini, lost ecologist soul, those of the happy degrowth. In the only Region where they govern, Sardinia of Alessandra Todde, the pentastellati have opened an incinerator. On the other hand, even for shapeshifters like them it is difficult to be simultaneously pro-China, the nation that pollutes the most in the world, and environmentalists.

The arrival of the new American president, among other beneficial effects, has had that of relegating the eco-vandals to the shadows. All of a sudden the European Union, the left, the idiots, have discovered that there are more important things. As for the green hooligans, they are weather-sensitive, in winter they slow down, they hibernate a bit, because they too understand that it is difficult to shout about the end of the world due to global warming if the thermometer outside reads two degrees. However, it is not that they have become completely inactive, it is just that the televisions no longer pay attention to them, and the newspapers less and less. The latest initiative, for example, last week, went completely unnoticed, perhaps because, for once, they had done something that the majority agrees with, throwing expired vegetables and fruit at Montecitorio. We are no longer in the times of the prevailing anti-caste, however, it is not that indignation mounts for a gesture like that. The protest, called “The right price”, wanted to raise awareness of the fact that, according to them, the increase in the cost of vegetables is also due to the climate, because the scarcity of water makes crops less efficient and the products unappealing to the eye, which is now the only compass of the consumer, therefore at greater risk of being discarded. Typical example, Sicilian oranges, smaller this year due to the lack of rain and remained unsold.

From last generation to last hope, the redemption could begin next March 6, when the movie theaters will release “Come non ci fosse un domani”, a documentary film that traces a sort of holy card of the eco-vandals, depicting their actions as acts of political martyrdom according to the penal code and describing them as if they were the mud angels of the Florence flood of 1966. The production is a guarantee, signed by Paolo Virzì and daughter Ottavia, about generations. The director is the same as “Siccità”, a 2022 environmentalist fantasy work, set in a Rome where it hasn’t rained for three years, and followed by two real years, with average rainfall above the norm. Do you want to see that at its screening the problem of climate change will also be solved?

In the meantime, the decisive factor in cooling the spirits of the eco-anxious, who are called the Last Generation also because many of them do not want to have children, terrified by the prospect of leaving a desertified world as a legacy, have been the laws that have begun to severely punish their hooligan actions. Thanks to the security decree passed by the Meloni government and contested in every way by the progressive opposition. The law provides for six months to two years in prison for those who block roads or railways and eighteen months to five years for those who damage something in a public place using violence towards third parties; with an aggravating circumstance if these acts are committed to prevent the construction of a strategic infrastructure. Gretini yes, but up to a certain point...
