Saving the Earth by Hating Humanity

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.
