It is almost impossible to tell the sort of environmentalist one is dealing with....the ones who are simply insane and/or stupid.....or the ones who are hiding their 'red' communism in the green movement.
But it still pays to look closely at their intentions.
1. "The official United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development (UNCED) was headquartered at Rio Center, Brazil, and "Maurice Strong, the conference's secretary general, declared at the official opening that the human race is "a species out of control." He is a member of the Club of Rome, which predicted in 1972 that the world would run out of gold by 1981, mercury by 1985, tin by 1987, petroleum by 1992, and copper, lead, and natural gas by 1993. But no one at Rio was likely to remind Strong or anyone else of the Club's absurd predictions.
2. ...the leaders at Rio believed that population was the key problem. Sterilizing the brown people of the underdeveloped world remains a green goal.
3. Perhaps the most poignant voice for common sense belonged to Sam Moyo,...Executive Secretary of the Regional Network of Environmental Experts. .... the environmental establishment's refusal to accept ideas such as Zimbabwe's program of elephant "conservation through use," .... "They talk about sustainable development," he told me, "yet we developed a means of sustaining wildlife, and they have stopped it."
4. ...the "non-governmental organizations," or NGOs—so-called because most of them are paid for by taxpayers—where group after group had set up booths to hawk their recycled ideologies. There one could find every element of the political environment, from the "essential role of women" in sustainable development (Bella Abzug serves as one of Strong's advisors) to the need to give animals complete dominion over the earth.
5. A single handwritten page produced by the environmental and developmental NGOs condemned ....the United States, "unanimously and without debate," as the worst participant in the Earth Summit. Not since the Vietnam War has the U.S. been so widely vilified for its "isolation" from the sentiments of the world."

Yup.....just one more iteration of the "Blame America" Brigade's outreach programs.
