What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Greta Thunberg mainly to criticise the use others make of her. From 2019 on, he describes her as a child exploited by financial circles12, then as a figure promoted by a capitalism that benefits from the ideology of degrowth and from making consumption a source of guilt34. He repeats one phrase several times: it is not her youth that has been stolen from her, but her maturity56. He also cites the opposition between the "end of the world" and the "end of the month". From 2019 to 2026, his criticism focuses mostly on the slogan "listen to the scientists". In his view, it assumes a unanimous scientific community, whereas the history of science is made of ruptures and scientists do not agree among themselves78. He compares it to "outside the Church there is no salvation"9. He also sees in it a cult of science among people who do not know science, a confusion between scientific and moral relevance10, and a disregard for the political use of science.
