You are entirely right. Climate catastrophe is a religious cult. Virtue signalling is cost less and you get to call out the bad deniers! Those evil nasties. That makes it even more attractive in our tribal world.

People against nuclear war! There is a thought provoking analogy.

Operation "Steel Box" removed chemical weapons from Germany during a few months of 1990. Much of the transport was by rail. There were large demonstrations by protesters trying to block the trains, which were REMOVING the chemical weapons!

I guess the protests were not about chemical weapons. :-)

The protests in my view, were anti-capitalist, with the US being the symbol of capitalism. The religion of global warming is no different -- it's essentially an anti-capitalist reflex, hard wired in emotion.
