You've nailed it. Like the War on Terror or the War on Hate, the War on Climate is a perfect tool for a great number of reasons. It is pervasive, subtle in its effects (and therefore impossible to disprove), and since carbon comes from essentially everything it therefore gives license to control everything. Even better, the war can never be won. The moment we relax, carbon increases, the climate destabilizes, and doomsday once again threatens. Like Aztec priests demanding blood sacrifices to ensure the Sun will rise, the need for more blood never goes away - sure the Sun rose today, but what about tomorrow?

Thus the regime sees in organic chemistry the perfect tool too justify all-pervading, perpetual control.

Personally I think there's also an even deeper, symbolic level to it. Carbon and nitrogen are essential to life. Warmth, too, is essential to life. By setting society at war with the stuff of life, the elites enlist the masses, symbolically, in a war on life.

I remember way back in the memory hole that Covid-19 was originally called “Corona Virus.” However people had stopped buying Corona Beer and panic ensued (from the producers of such product) so they had to change the name to Covid-19! Sort of like changing the name of all the climate emergencies to the oxymoron that encompasses them all ‘Climate Change.’ What a world we live in when those that can see thru this bullshit are looked upon as rebellious but those who go along are rewarded. One thing I’ve learned in this life is that you cannot fix stupid!
