Dangers of Political Powers of the Green Religion's Pseudo-Scientists

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel....and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
Galatians 1:6/ Romans 1:23 NIV

"As Planet Earth faces a crisis, who can save us? The scientist can
save us! Like a knight in shining armor riding a great white steed, the scientist brings us the gnosis (knowledge) to vanquish ignorance and deliver redemptive enlightenment. 
.....astrophysicist Lord Martin Rees, touts the science-as-savior myth. He’s just published a book I recommend, If Science is to Save Us. First,” writes Rees, “our entire world is interconnected: a catastrophe in any region can cascade globally; no nation is truly safe until all are. Second, international science can be our salvation…” (Rees, 2022, p. 18). 
What is Rees saying here? Let’s look closely.
According to Lord Reese, we are presently in a fallen state characterized by nationalism and localism. What we need is “international science” to “be our salvation.” Science brings us international unity and global redemption from the ecological crisis.
Accordingly, the global scientific community could rule like Plato’s philosopher kings (Plato, The Republic). 
---But we must ask: 
Q: could such rulers devolve into a political tyranny worse than the fallenness from which they have saved us?"
