Environmentalism: Caring for Mother Earth

If we're smart, we all care about our home planet. But there are some who remain trapped by one form of selfishness or another—and this makes some people blind. This blindness is effectively a lack of intelligence, every bit as much as driving a car while wearing a blindfold is not very smart.

Who are these selfish people? There are 3 key types with each one denying a part of reality, pretending it doesn't matter to them. These are,

1. The greedy,
2. The fake environmentalists, and
3. The egotistical and misguided environmentalists.

Environmentalism: The Greedy

These are the type of people who love money and don't care about the environment. They will sometimes pretend to care, but only to improve their corporation's image with the public-at-large. Publicly-traded corporations are the worst at this simply because each corporate officer is legally bound to do only those things that will increase shareholder profits. If they don't break the law, kill others, maim people, steal, extort, bribe or otherwise do unethical things that profits demand, they can be arrested for not living up to their fiduciary duties. At they very least, they will likely lose their lucrative jobs if they don't do those things. This may seem to be a dark view of corporations, but it's ironically the current state of things.

A corporation will only protect the environment if it helps their profitability. They cannot do any altruism. It's illegal.

Private corporations can be better, but that depends on the attitudes of the owner or owners. They don't have to bring in a profit. They could remain environmentally friendly, if they desired to do so.

The greedy are those who place corporate profits ahead of long-term environmental concerns. This is why we find hundreds of toxic substances poisoning our environment—from Monsanto's glyphosate, now found in human mothers' milk, to atrazine changing the biochemistry of frog populations. And when a scientist dares to jeopardize a corporation's profits, they go to war, conspiring to ruin their career, as they tried to do with Dr. Tyrone Hayes. He was a hero and the corporate owner of atrazine accused him of being paranoid, when the fear was based on fact, not delusion. The conspiracy was based on fact, not a tin-foil hat.

The Fake Environmentalists

These are the people who pretend to care about the environment only to gain a following so they can achieve some political agenda. This includes the former communists who are "green on the outside, but red on the inside." What they really care about is collectivism, forced redistribution of resources, and tyranny over their fellow humans. It's a power trip for them, and environmentalism is a convenient and emotional vehicle.

Behind this group are the globalists who want to reshape the world in their image. They want to kill off what they view as "useless eaters," using up the globalist's resources. Yes, they proclaim that the Earth belongs to them and that killing off 7+ billion people is necessary. They promote programs like eugenics, euthanasia, abortion, forced sterilization, mandatory vaccinations, wars and violent divisions between groups, in order to achieve their depopulation goals.

This group is similar to the Greedy, above, but they more directly pretend to care for the environment in order to achieve their long-range goals.

In order to curtail their opposition, they have funded through their corporations (including Big News and Big Science) programs "climate change" alarmism and redefining words like "conspiracy" so others will not be inclined to talk about what they have done. For instance, "conspiracy" has, through popular media, become defined as "fantasy" in the minds of many Westerners. Clever for conspirators to make their activities invisible in this manner. So, instead of logic, their followers (in the next group) are inclined to use emotion and name-calling—like "tinfoil hat," to discourage others from talking about the globalists' crimes.

Egotistical and Misguided Environmentalists

This is the largest group of the three. They are potentially the most powerful, but they are in denial of reality. They are easily swayed by emotion, instead of facts and logic. They use just enough truth to make their half-truths and lies stick. What kind of lies?

Take for instance the overarching notion that Global Warming is bad. Most people don't realize that we currently live in an Ice Age. Global Warming 11,600 years ago helped to make it possible for us humans to create civilization. And the rate of warming at the beginning of our Holocene interglacial was over 100 times the rate of warming in the 20th century. Let that startling fact sink in. The misguided environmentalists are freaking out over a +0.9°C warming over the entire 20th century, while the Holocene started off with +10°C of warming in only one decade. That's equivalent to +100°C per century! So, our modern warming is not unusual and far from "dangerous."

In fact, history has shown that prosperous civilizations accompanied periods of far greater warmth than we are now enjoying. Climate temperature proxies tell us that the Minoan Warm Period (3,000 years ago) was far warmer than today. The Roman Warm Period (2,000 years ago) was a little cooler than the Minoan, but still warmer than the Medieval Warm Period (1,000 years ago). And our Modern Warm Period is the coldest of the Holocene's major warm periods (1,000-year cycle).

If we're honest, we will look at these facts and realize that Global Warming brought us out of the burdensome cold of the Little Ice Age, but CO₂ was not strong enough to keep the Modern Warm Period out of Last Place amongst the Holocene's 10 major warm periods (1,000-year cycle).

I used to be a part of this last group. As a Warming Alarmist, I cared deeply about our world and about the damage being done to it. I still care, but I'm now a little older and a little wiser. The "precautionary principle" used so often only works if you "jump" in the right direction. Cooling the planet in an ongoing Ice Age is the opposite of smart.
