As
the greatest hoax of the modern era, “global warming”, bites the dust around
the world, it behooves us all to contemplate why environmentalists—Greens—would
attempt to hoodwink the world’s population into believing they could do
anything to “control” the planet’s climate.
One singular fact stands out in all Green propaganda and permeates all the
legislation and other programs they sponsor. It is a contempt and disdain for
the Earth’s human population. The leaders of the movement hate humanity.
Obsessed with population growth, anything that can reduce it—disease, poverty,
famine, or lack of energy is pursued as part of the Green agenda.
The
Green movement grew out of an earlier, more salutary one, conservation. We can
surely thank Americans such as John Muir and others who sought to preserve
tracts of wilderness such as Yellowstone and
the nation’s forested areas from the rampant depredations of the 1800s and
early 1900s. The nation owes a debt of gratitude to President Theodore
Roosevelt for the initial creation of national parks and forests.
As
the nation industrialized, rivers suffered pollution and the air was polluted
by factories that befouled both. In 1970 President Richard M. Nixon signed into
being the Environmental Protection Agency which, empowered by the Clean Air and
Clean Water Acts, can be credited to early success.
However,
like all government agencies, the EPA has steadily sought to expand its powers
and, aided by other environmentally related agencies such as the Fish and
Wildlife Service and the Corps of Engineers, it has relentless pursued ever larger
control over all the land and waters of the nation, and by extension over
everyone’s life.
They
pose a threat to the constitutionally protected right to private property,
vital to the nation’s economy and a keystone of capitalism.
The
growth of literally hundreds of “environmental” organizations has led to an
endless barrage of scare campaigns, often without any basis in science, and used
to undermine the industrial, agricultural, and transportation sectors of the
nation’s economy.
On
a global scale, the United Nations Environmental Program and its Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change have pursued an agenda devoid of scientific merit or
justification.
Greens lie and they lie
all the time
The
lies about Alar came close to wrecking apple growers. The lies about the
spotted owl species laid waste to the northwest’s timber industry. New claims
about alleged dangers from plastic bottles are based on lies.
The
lie that carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, has anything to do with “warming”
has driven the totally deceitful “global warming” hoax and is used to create a
market for worthless “carbon credits” that ultimately increase the cost of
energy and everything else.
The
introduction of the Endangered Species Act is one long history of near constant
failure in pursuit of a foolish goal, advocating for obscure species while
thwarting all manner of projects useful to the human species. It has been used
to impoverish farmers in Oregon and California.
The
truth is that the Earth is actually cooling, not warming. Carbon Dioxide is not
a “pollutant.” The North and South Poles are not melting. Sea levels worldwide
are not rising any more than they have for millennia. Polar bears are thriving.
Solar and wind energy is a bust, providing barely 1% of all electricity used
daily nationwide.
The
truth is that pesticides protect people against insect and rodent-borne
diseases and property damage. Saving “endangered species” ignores the fact that
95% of all the species that previously existed are now extinct.
The
truth is that nothing humans do has
any affect on the climate that is dependent on solar and ocean cycles.
The
Greens are now famous for their campaigns against products from toilet paper to
plastic bags, bottles, and everything else made from plastic, a petroleum
derivative. Anyone who buys “environmentally” approved products is being
charged a premium for their own gullibility. Every supermarket and store in America has
comparable, safe products at far lower costs.
Americans
are constantly harangued to adopt Green lifestyles. Generations of young
Americans have suffered the child abuse of being told that the Earth is doomed
despite its 4.5 billion year existence.
Corporations
that advertise and promote their “Green” credentials pander to environmental
hoaxes in order to avoid criticism and generate an “environmentally friendly”
public image.
The
real environmental message speaks to a hatred of humanity and the many
technological, medical, agricultural, and other achievements that have
enhanced, improved, and saved the lives of millions.
If
you hate energy, join an environmental organization.
If
you hate science, join an environmental organization.
If
you hate jobs in America,
join an environmental organization.
If
you hate industrial and agricultural development and progress, join an
environmental organization.
And
if you hate humanity, join an environmental organization.
