This is a nice piece on how wrong and just plain evil the Green Fascists are.....
DELINGPOLE: Environmentalists Aren't Just Wrong. They're Loathsome And Evil Too
My sceptical filmmaking friends Phelim McAleer and Anne McElhinney once made a movie exposing the nonsense of the greenies. It was called Not Evil Just Wrong. In my view this was a misnomer. It should have been called: Wrong â And Totally Bloody Evil Too.
There many reasons why the alarmist establishment â the Climate Industrial Complex as Myron Ebell calls it â is so totally loathsomely evil. If I had to list them all this would be longer than War & Peace.
One is that theyâre such hypocrites: if you really cared about the environment in the way these fascistic loons claim they do, then youâd be vigorously opposing renewable energy (such as the bat-chomping, bird-slicing eco-crucifixes defacing our landscape and slicing and dicing our avian fauna) and instead going all out for fossil fuels.
This was a point often made in the Heartland panel discussions â which you can catch up with here .
In the one on Sustainability â Panel 5A â independent scientist Indur Goklany pointed out that without fossil fuels we wouldnât have the fertilizer we need to make our agricultural land so productive. This in turn would mean we wouldnât be able to leave nearly so much space free as fallow land, as nature reserves or as wilderness.
Youâd think the Greenies would get this fairly basic scientific point â given how much theyâre always banging on about âthe scienceâ â but they never do because, as I argued in my book Watermelons, their commitment to environmentalism owes much more to quasi-religious ideology, to straightforward greed and to anti-free-market control-freakery than it does to a genuine love of nature.
Then thereâs the hatred. Pretty much everyone speaking at the Heartland Institute will have suffered personally for speaking out against the Great Global Warming Scare. Willie Soonâs travails are typical. Itâs why only the brave â or the elderly, who have nothing to lose â who speak out.
The same applies, of course, to all the other professions which dare to confront the climate âconsensusâ. I wrote in my book, for example, about how popular British TV presenters David Bellamy and Johnny Ball both effectively had their careers destroyed when they took the âwrong sideâ on global warming.
Journalists get it in the neck too, of course.
Let me close by treating you to some examples of the kind of hate I got recently simply for pointing out that Australiaâs Great Barrier Reef isnât actually being wiped out by man-made global warming.
Sure, it has experienced some serious bleaching in some parts â probably the result of the recent El Nino â but not nearly on the scale that has been claimed by politically- and financially-motivated climate alarmists. And it will recover, just like reefs always do and have done for millennia, sometimes in warming far more extreme than anything we have experienced today.
