Environmentalism is Not About the Environment

Environmentalism is about politics, not about the Environment. If it was about science, different viewpoints would be welcomed and discussed - and the issue would not be treated as a moral and ethical whipping post.

Global warming caused by man? Why buy into it when it when there is honest disagreement about its validity - and arguments on both sides rely upon anecdotal evidence - which isn't real evidence.

When volcanos dump more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than all human contributors?

When China's and India's contributions to greenhouse gases are excused by Al Gore and his friends? (Oddly, their sense of panic only revolves around the West's ecological transgressions.)

Maybe when those on the Left are more attentive to the threat of Radical Islam and its threat to our world - maybe then we can address their pet issues.

If common sense was a part of the Environmentalist's thinking, would a small portion of Anwar elicit histeria?

Before we choose to wreck our economy on the word of a few Environ-Nuts and a few scientists looking for federal funding, let's all simmer down and take a few deep breaths.
I'm still not convinced.

It's a religion to these folks, Chris.
The "great outdoors" is their church and they serve mother nature.
They worship at the alter of purple mountains majesty and amber waves of grain.

But like all of us, they too are human and fall from grace.
They also drive SUV's and fly in jets. They exit a room and leave the lights on.
They purchase goods produced in the factories they've vowed to destroy.

And live off the fat of a country they hate.

Perfectly said, Janice.
