One More Of Those Environmentalist Fairytales

[Camp]

It's pretty obvious that the members of the AGWCult here are posters not interested in debate or education, but rather are here, paid or not, to endlessly repeat all the enviromarxist talking points.

What do you expect. The OP hasn't got a clue about how important flies are. The thread begins with the stupid suggestion that they are insignificant.

I hope to leave this post of yours as the defining example of your .....cerebration.

Do you really believe land life could exist on planet earth without flies?

I fully understand what brought you racing to this thread, as incensed as when I reveal the truth about Franklin Roosevelt....


You saw this in the OP:
"Do you think there would there be a universal gnashing of teeth, and wringing of hands, if the fly were to become extinct???"

...and you recognized the same truth applied to you.

Just answer the question.

God in his wisdom made the fly
And then forgot to tell us why.

Do you think there would there be a universal gnashing of teeth, and wringing of hands, if the fly were to become extinct???



2. Yet, it seems that among environmentalists, there is the view that the biosphere sits on the edge of the abyss....and if even one of the organisms extant relinquishes that identity....everything disappears....poof!
All life on the planet is doomed.

See....that's a fairytale.


The fly wouldn't be missed a bit.
And the same could apply to the red cockaded woodpecker, and the spotted owl, and dozens of others!

"The fly wouldn't be missed a bit.". When the foundation of a theory starts with this kind of stupidity you might as well resign yourself to the fact that whatever follows will have no credibility and be laced with the same kind of ignorance.

Nobody actually reads PC's Unibomber-style rants.

PC takes that to mean she "won". Just like the Unibomber "won" because nobody refuted his manifesto.

OK, who else is developing webbed feet from AGW?

LOL!!! You're still convinced the tree rings prove the hockey stick!

LOL!

Of equal import were these words of Ogden Nash:

Candy is dandy.
Liquor is quicker.


I've never seen a purple cow
I never hope to see one
But this I'll tell you
Here and now
I'd rather see
than be one.

Species have come and gone just as one day we will be gone. The planet will continue to spin until the sun goes super nova and our solar system is destroyed.

Thinking that man has the ability to control this or elude this is pure fantasy.

By the way, the fly has survived for millions of years through ice ages to boot! Its not going anywhere soon..

I was making fun of the OP for thinking the planet could exist as it does without saprophytes, a necessity for plant life, and plant life a necessity for mankind.

PC has repeatedly proven her paucity of intellect. Really, she should go down to the Malhuer Refuge and join her buddies. After all, we fellow Americans have supplied their, and her, basic needs.

But once the environmental bureaucrats latch on to one of these, they steal private property by regulating it out of the owner's hands.



3. "Since the environmental movement began, it has supported thousands of regulations and ideas for environmental improvement. It is now clear that few of these lead to profit, and most take a big bite out of someone's earnings or the national economy."
Kaufman, " No Turning Back: Dismantling the Fantasies of Environmental Thinking."

4. ".... most environmental fears have been vastly overstated, and the risks (economic and health) of current environmental policies (the Clean Air Act, Superfund, the Endangered Species Act, the proposed carbon taxes) are much greater—and the effectiveness far less—than once believed.
Carnival of Dunces | Competitive Enterprise Institute



5. Science writer Kaufman, who has served as president of two state-level groups, identifies with other "recovering" environmentalists who report that internal politics has given those in the movement an irrational view of the world.
... .... fires broadsides at the environmental movement, which, he argues, has become a religion that ignores the basic principles of science, economics and human nature.

....Among his targets are programs sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency, the Endangered Species Act, the premises of Al Gore's Earth in the Balance and various recycling programs. In this stimulating volume, Kaufman discusses new technologies and suggests that private enterprises are not necessarily anti-environment and can be beneficial as a resource."

So....not just a fairytale....but a fairy tale that hides the real scam: control and confiscation of private property ....and of liberty.

Environmentalism is simply camouflaged communism.

They aim to regulate private property out of existence.....for the children....er, for the environment.....or something.



But folks are catching on:

"President Trump Rolls Back Onerous “Endangered Species” Rule Protections

After 50 years, most sensible people think it is time for a review, update…and add protections against anti-capitalist, science-ignorant eco-activists.

Some of the most difficult of those regulations came from the “Endangered Species Act.” The government implemented the rules initially to protect whales, eagles, and other wildlife. It eventually devolved into a green dictatorship in which small fish and insects could be used to prohibit land and business development.


Now, after 50 years of implementation, the Trump Administration is rethinking the application of these rules.

The Trump administration on Monday announced that it would change the way the Endangered Species Act is applied, significantly weakening the nation’s bedrock conservation law and making it harder to protect wildlife from the multiple threats posed by climate change.

The new rules would make it easier to remove a species from the endangered list and weaken protections for threatened species, the classification one step below endangered. And, for the first time, regulators would be allowed to conduct economic assessments — for instance, estimating lost revenue from a prohibition on logging in a critical habitat — when deciding whether a species warrants protection.

Critically, the changes would also make it more difficult for regulators to factor in the effects of climate change on wildlife when making those decisions because those threats tend to be decades away, not immediate."
