It's often reported that Mark Twain said " The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated."
Someone should apply that to the earth, and report it to the environmentalists.
They won't laugh....environmentalists are almost as humorless as feminists, whose motto is "That's not funny!"
I'd love to see the Sierra Club, the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC),
Fish and Wildlife Service. the EPA, etc, all get together under the name
"Hand-Wringers Anonymous."
Or...the CLC....the
Chicken Little Consortium!
Catchy?
4. Perhaps we should see some examples of dypeptic doyens of doom, or, what the environmentalists would call their Hall of Fame:
a. In 1865, William Stanley Jevons predicted that the burgeoning Victorian population of
English would soon use up all of England's coal! "The conclusion is inevitable that our present happy progressive condition is a thing of limited duration.
Jevons, "The Coal Question," p. 164
Didn't he write "Baby, It's Cold Outside"?
b.This, from 2014: ".... if you start counting not just the reserves known to be recoverable today but the resources thought to be buried underground, the excess becomes huge. The global coal resource is well over 20 trillion tonnes,
figures from the International Energy Agency show....fossil fuels....the UK - and the world - has far too much."
why the UK will not run out of oil coal or gas in five years
5. This, from the founding statement of the Audubon Society, 1886: "We may read [the story] plainly enough in the silent hedges, once vocal with the morning songs of birds, and in the deserted fields where once bright plumage flashed in the sunlight."
So.....have you noticed....
there are no more birds???
Environmentalism....crying real tears.
