As Lewis Mumford explains and Derrick writes extensively in Myth of Human Supremacy, any tool cannot be separated from the overall social structure under which it was created and operates. Likewise, science, as a way of thought, was created under a paradigm of dominance of nature. Much of the scientific discoveries have been pursued for the same purpose.

In the western delusion of words over actions, science is portrayed as a\u00a0<em>hero<\/em>\u00a0in the fight against climate collapse when in fact is the primary\u00a0<em>villain<\/em>.

The fact is that your average poor person simply not consuming much is doing more than the most vaunted scientists jetting around the world to \u2018save\u2019 it by \u2018raising awareness\u2019.
