“The Mask of The Green Cult.” Sounds like a science fiction movie. Except that it’s all around us, for real. Adam Vicari at American Thinker starts his essay:
For decades now, you have heard
leftist ear sores bloviate endlessly about "climate
change." The world will end in a decade if we don't take action
now! screams AOC. However, the more skeptical and rational
among us tend to question the true motivation of the environmentalist Green
cult.
The best example of a real environmentalist
was probably conservationist John Muir, the founder of the Sierra Club. Muir's
work helped to establish a number of national parks throughout the country, an
act that did not regress the progress of society for the sake of nature, but
sought to preserve nature while simultaneously allowing industrial
society to progress at a steady rate. Thus, Muir sought to build
something, while the modern environmentalist movement seeks only to destroy
everything and anything that gets in the way of its climate crusade.
Just take a look at the Sierra
Club's website today, and see what its goals are for 2030. Within
the next seven years, the Sierra Club hopes to eliminate enough coal and gas in
the energy sector to make for 80% carbon "pollution"–free electricity
by that time, in addition to decreasing oil used in the transportation sector
by 18%, ending the sale of gas appliances, and halting the fossil
fuel market by banning oil and gas exports and petrochemical expansion at the
same time. This is an ambitious plan...and also a complete load of
BS and magical thinking.
Although it may not faze most
people at first, notice how they call carbon a "pollutant" and claim
they want to reduce it by 80% in electricity production. Since when
is carbon a pollutant? Carbon is an element necessary to all life on
earth. No organism can survive without it. Indeed, the entire
process on which all human life depends, photosynthesis, requires carbon
dioxide. In order for plants to produce oxygen for living
beings to breathe, they must first collect carbon dioxide dispelled from
the living being breathing the air they are producing. Numerous
studies have indicated that areas with higher carbon concentration are more
green and more fertile, not less.
So why would the Green cult want to
reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere? . . . .
Why indeed? Mr. Vicari has some good guesses. Read his column here.
