10. The stable imbalances of nature – Josef Reichholf

The experienced, sharp-minded, productive and – to some – controversial German ecologist Josef Reichholf is a humble Bavarian scientist who realized early on that he couldn’t compromise with his conscience. That entailed breaking with fellow ecologists, who in Reichholf’s mind had become too ideological. He thinks climate change policy for the most part is a big waste of money – not because there is no warming, but because there are a myriad ways the money could be used wiser. Who is then the biggest culprit in the destruction of habitats? Modern agriculture.

Some quotes:

”Nature has always changed. When our bodies reach equilibrium, we are dead. There is no state of nature that is the ’right’ one.”

”Since Enlightenment we have separated nature from humankind. This separation is now predominant in the Western culture.”

”As a nature scientist I want to stay unbiased by ideology. The green ideology came into conflict with the scientific facts.”
