Conservation and the Green Agenda
Yesterday, the Senate advanced legislation that would protect 2 millions acres of land as wilderness. I guess this is one of the few perks of having a Democrat controlled congress. By the sounds, the bill was somewhat bipartisan which is a positive sign. Its rather unfortunate that Republicans no longer take the lead when it comes to conservation. As a party and a society, we have quickly forgotten that Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican, made the greatest advances in conservation and preservation of our natural national resources than any other president in history.
Notice that I use the word “conservation” and not words like “environment” or “green”. It’s important to conserve our natural resources and ensure that generations to come can enjoy the earth in the same ways we have. We also need to recognize that we share this earth with other animals that have an equal right to live and prosper. However, the environmentalist movement has politicized this concept for a much broader socialist agenda. Don’t believe me? One of the environmental movement’s biggest critics is Patrick Moore, the co-founder of Greenpeace. He states “I don’t even like to call it the environmental movement any more, because really it is a political activist movement, and they have become hugely influential at a global level”. Moore left Geenpeace after the organization abandoned hard science in favor of scare tactics and disinformation.
…climate change theory became the main focus of extremists after “world communism failed, the Wall came down and a lot of peaceniks and political activists moved into the environmental movement bringing their neo-Marxism with them and learnt to used green language in a very clever way to cloak agendas that have more to do with anti-capitalism and anti-globalisation than … ecology or science.”
It’s a shame that real environmental conservation is being clouded by political agendas.
