The article is devoted to the influence of globalists’ strategy and tactics on the contemporary ecological situation on the planet. At the same time, the process of increasing people’s consumer attitudes towards nature that began as early as the Neolithic revolution, consisting in the transition to a settled way of life and producing an economy, is traced. It is noted that before entering the arena of the world history of capitalism, anthropogenic pressure on nature was not that destructive for it as it was with capitalism. The article supports the idea of the need to distinguish between globalization and globalism. The latter is associated with the strategy and tactics of the so-called “golden billion”. It is noted that the elite of the “golden billion” especially from the second half of the XX century intensively and extensively pumping out coal from the depths of the Earth, oil, building its own state on this. By all means it blocks the development and use of fuel-free energy, thereby contributing to the aggravation of the ecological situation that threatens to turn into an irreversible catastrophe.
