Moore gets to the heart of the matter, explaining that while the 1980s ushered in the age of radical environmentalism, the issues for which he and his organization had fought have been largely accomplished. Thus, in order for his cohorts to remain employed, Moore admits they had to adopt increasingly extreme positions he categorizes as “anti: anti-human, anti-science, anti-technology, anti-trade and globalization, anti-business and capitalism, and ultimately, anti-civilization.”

Real Clear Energy reporter Marita Noon encapsulates the end result: “Moore’s view helps understand how the environmental movement has gone from trying to save the planet to killing the US economy.”

Fucking bullshit. The outflow of the Mississippi still has enough chemicals used in agriculture to cause a huge dead spot in the Gulf. We are still putting too much lead and mercury in the air from coal fired generation plants. And each advance in technology brings a whole new set of pollutants to be taken care of.

Without the environmentalists, our rivers would still be open sewers, and corperations would still poison our children with lead and mercury.

And important issues such as those could be addressed if the AGW hoax weren't sucking all the air from the room and all the money from the coffers. That hoax has been putting genuinely important issues such as those you listed above on the far back burner for going on 2 decades now.

 

[Old Rocks]

Dumb fuck, the primary source of lead and mercury are coal fired generation plants. Shut those down and you solve much of the GHG increase and, at the same time, almost completely shut down the primary source of lead and mercury in this nation.

Everybody in the environmental movement is motivated by one thing and one thing only: destruction of the capitalistic system. Think Wizard of Oz and that man behind the curtain. These people have made enormous strides since 1970, yet they live in a perpetual state of anger and misery. Ask yourself why?

SSDD.....just saw your last post.......and Im laughing my balls off. Yeeeesh.......but it speaks to why the public have tuned these people out. Ive been telling them for a long time that its time for Plan B.......but enjoying the shit out of watching them absolutely stuck in plan A. Makes this forum so much of a hoot.

The wheels are really falling off when the nyt starts asking reasonable questions. When rags like that start getting in position to save some face over the imminent collapse of climate science, you know it is time to put on your eye and ear protection because the explosion can't be far away.

SSDD......you should have been at my house a couple of days ago when this young gal stopped by wanting me to sign a petition to stop fracking in NYS. She's from this k00k group called NYPIRG......an environmental activist group. One of thse hopelessly duped unicorn chasers......should have seen the look on her face when I said, "Ummm......your organization is very misguided and naive. But I wish you luck!"

One does not need to sign onto the Global Warming is going to kill us all TEAM to understand that pollution is a bad thing.

the problem is.....a large fraction of people think CO2 is pollution!!

there are pollutants from burning fossil fuels but CO2 isnt one of them.

Two very different things. Conservation preserving resources reducing pollution are good things. The AGW hoax just sucks the air out of the room and the money out of the coffers.

‘Climate Change’ and the ‘Fundamental Transformation of America’

June 28, 2013 By Jack Kerwick

While speaking before an audience at Georgetown University on Tuesday, President Obama unveiled an ambitious agenda to combat “climate change.”

This agenda includes a “war on coal.” Or so his opponents charge.

In actuality, though, the so-called “war” on coal is just a battle in the left’s war against “climate change.”

Everyone who hasn’t been living in a cave is aware of the fact that what is now called “climate change” was known, not all that long ago, as “global warming.” That the latter label has largely been displaced by the former is a turn of events that sheds much light into the dark recesses of the leftist’s psyche.

In spite of the fact that, at least for a while, “global warming” was quite the buzzword in the popular culture, it—along with the leftists who spared no occasion to invoke it—experienced a decisive reversal of fortunes a few years back when “Climategate” came to the public’s attention. Many distinguished scientists, it was revealed, conspired with one another to conceal that evidence which contradicted the idea of anthropogenic (man-made) global warming. Over 1,000 emails and an assortment of other documentation confirmed the doubts of skeptics who long insisted that the notion of global warming was an invaluable fiction to those who sought to annex ever greater amounts of power to the central government.

The Lame-Brain Oil Divestment Campaign

July 18, 2013 By Mark Hendrickson

...

—Feigning a disarming humility, he candidly admitted that he has been trying to change other people for at least three decades. This is the essence of liberalism: a primary focus on changing others—no getting the beam out of one’s own eye before attempting to remove the mote from the eyes of others.

—Liberals love to flatter themselves as nobly free of parochial prejudices by taking digs at the USA. McKibben showed his anti-American bona fides by saying (wink, wink, ha ha!), “Even the United States signed [the UN document at the 2009 Copenhagen Climate Meeting agreeing to cut future CO2 emissions]” (emphasis added). This snide aspersion is particularly uncalled for, since US emissions of CO2 have been falling, while the emissions of a number of the other signatories have continued to rise.

—In addition to America-bashing, a distinguishing characteristic of liberals is their habitual denunciation of society’s economic benefactors. A decent, appropriate response to fossil fuel corporations would be to respect them, and perhaps even be grateful to them, for having supplied the abundant, cheap energy that lifted us from the historical norm of mass poverty to the modern norm of widespread prosperity. Indeed, in the words of energy expert Daniel Yergin, today, “Abundant low-cost energy is stimulating a revival of manufacturing in the U.S. as well as increased American competitiveness.” Yet, in the best anti-capitalist tradition, McKibben insists on portraying oil corporations as rotten malefactors rather than benefactors. In his own words, his goal is to “turn oil and gas and coal companies into pariahs.” In short, oil disinvestment is nothing more than good old-fashioned anti-capitalism. Another generation of college students is being conditioned like Pavlov’s dog to react reflexively with loathing and disgust whenever they hear the words “oil corporation.”

...

This brings us to the bottom line of typical liberal schemes like the fossil fuel divestment campaign. It’s dishonest. McKibben doesn’t tell his recruits that the change they want depends on them accepting reductions in their standard of living. Instead, he manipulates them into believing that they are the good guys, energy companies are the bad guys, and that the only way to save the world is for the good guys to smash the bad guys. It’s all very heady stuff. Too bad it’s bunk. McKibben is a liberal pied piper who promises to lead his followers on the path to salvation—all the while taking them down the road to ruin. That destructiveness masquerading as salvation is liberalism in a nutshell.
