Environmentalists' Highway

Beneath the rhetoric of survival, behind the Sierra Club calendars, beyond the movie-star appeals, lies a full-fledged ideology – an ideology every bit as powerful as Marxism and every bit as dangerous to individual freedom and human happiness. Like Marxism, it appeals to seemingly noble instincts: the longing for beauty, for harmony, for peace. It is the green road to serfdom.
The Green Road to Serfdom, Virginia I. Postrel

and the solution is always international socialism.” —Harvard's Dr. Malcolm Ross

21mar08‘Medieval Environmentalists’ attack CO2
in their efforts to Derail Civilization

Dr. Tim Ball & Tom Harris
Aside from forecasts of still primitive computer models, modern climatological research consistently shows that there is no scientific justification for the CO2/climate hysteria that has so gripped mass media and politicians.
21mar08Environmental Extremism must be put
in its place in the Climate Debate

Dr. Tim Ball & Tom Harris
Many people are starting to realize that much of what they’ve been told about climate change by governments, the United Nations and crusading celebrities is simply wrong.
2sep07The Year the Global Warming Hoax Died
Alan Caruba
There will be dying gasps to this hoax, not the least of which is a planned $100 million media blitz by Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection, but the public is already far more concerned about instability in the Middle East, the forthcoming national elections, and shocks to the U.S. economy to accord such an effort much credibility.
26mar06 Ice Cores Show Sun, Not Humans,
Controlling Earth’s Climate

Dennis T. Avery
Man’s climate impacts are puny compared to the million-degree heat of the sun. There’s no evidence that human-emitted CO2 has added much to the current temperatures.
 
12mar06 Endless Environmental Lies
Alan Caruba
The lies the environmental movement has put forth over the last few decades can and does fill entire libraries. They have been aided and abetted by the mainstream media that knows that scary news sells newspapers and attracts viewers and listeners.
 
22may05 Double Standards On Disease Control
Paul Dreissen
Last year, malaria sent more African children to shallow graves than any other infectious disease – three times as many as HIV/AIDS, according to UNICEF. Year after year, this silent, vicious executioner infects 400 million people in sub-Saharan Africa.
 
2apr05 The Big Business of Climate Change Research
Dr. Roy W. Spencer
A new report released today by the Marshall Institute, a Washington-based science policy group, looks at the major donors to environmental groups for climate-related activities. It finds that the vast majority of those donors represent and promote left-leaning causes.
 
14dec04 There Is NO Man-Made Global Warming
Tom DeWeese
Americans aren't being told that a 1997 Gallop Poll of prominent North American climatologists showed that 83 percent of them disagreed with the man-made global warming theory.
 
6aug04 ‘Sustainable Development’ is the Evil You Face
Tom DeWeese
Sustainable Development is the 'ruling principle' for the implementation of what former Vice President Al Gore said we must all suffer through in order to purify our nation from the horrors of the Twentieth Century’s industrial revolution.
 
31jul04 Sustainable Development 101
American Policy Center
Since the concept of 'sustainability' was first defined in the 1987 report by Gro Harlem Brundtland (VP of the World Socialist Party), it has swelled into a tidal wave that is washing across the world and has now crashed onto American shores and will soon inundate every American Community.
 
30apr04 DDT vs. Death by Malaria
Robert J. Cihak, M.D.
That DDT prevented 500 million deaths by 1970 and that the banning of its use in poor countries has resulted in millions of unnecessary deaths holds no sway with true believers in this doctrine. Where did this myth originate?
 
22feb04 The Emperor’s New Climate:
Is Global Warming Real?

Duncan Maxwell Anderson
Scientists have created a global-warming paradigm for themselves that benefits them – as a cause and as a livelihood. They won’t easily be dissuaded from it.
 
11jan04 The Endangered Species Act Deserves Extinction
Alan Caruba
Here's something that will surprise you. Originally adopted in 1973, the Endangered Species Act expired October 1, 1992! It continues only because Congress continues to fund it.
 
21nov03 The Real Poision is Dishonesty
Jay Ambrose
When South Africa used DDT widely, malaria cases dropped to 6,000. Five years after it switched to other techniques, the number had climbed to 60,000.
 
12aug03 Summer Heat
Kim Weissman
Beyond the hyperbole of calling global warming a weapon of mass destruction, let's look a bit closer at ... claims that 'The 1990s were probably the warmest decade in the last 1,000 years…'
 
10jun03 Revisiting the Global Warming Hoax
Alan Caruba
Little known to the public is the fact that most of the scientists involved with the UN's' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change do not agree that global warming is occurring.
 
16may03 The Real Epidemic: West Nile Fever
Alan Caruba
The EPA has stripped Americans of many of the pesticides that formerly protected them against a vast range of insect pests that spread disease or inflict millions of dollars of property damage.
 
14may03 Has EPA been promoting
one big secondhand smoke screen?

Joseph Perkins
One study, funded by the National Cancer Institute, found that nonsmokers have no increased risk of lung cancer as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke during childhood, in the workplace or from living with a pack-a-day smoker for as many as 40 years.
 
14may03 Judge Smokes Out Tobacco Lie
"EPA publicly committed to a conclusion before the research had begun; adjusted established procedure and scientific norms to validate its conclusion, and aggressively utilized its authority to disseminate findings to establish a de facto regulatory scheme to influence public opinion." –Judge William Osteen
 
27apr03 Deploy DDT To Fight Malaria
Angela Logomasini
"In the 1940s many people were deliberately exposed to high concentrations of DDT through dusting programs or impregnation of clothes, without any apparent ill effect."
–A.G. Smith of the scientific journal Lancet
 
5mar03 Time to Throw Out 'Myth' of Recycling
Throw away the green and blue bags and forget those trips to return bottles – recycling household waste is a load of, well, rubbish, say leading environmentalists and waste campaigners.
 
28dec02 Debunking Modern Climate Myths
Is global climate warming?  If so, what part of that warming is due to human activities?  How good is the evidence?  What are the risks? – 14 Fallacies
2oct02 100 Things You Should Know about DDT
J. Gordon Edwards and Steven Milloy
"To only a few chemicals does man owe as great a debt as to DDT... In little more than two decades, DDT has prevented 500 million human deaths, due to malaria, that otherwise would have been inevitable." – National Academy of Sciences, 1970
28sep02 Healthy Forests and Wise Management
Senator Jon Kyl
If we are really concerned about greenhouse gases, just stop and think, all of the emissions from all of the cars in the United States did not equal 1 day's worth of emissions from this one [Rodeo] fire.
1sep02 Science for Sale: The Global Warming Scam
Accuracy in Media
The dirty secret is that global warming is driven more by the search for funding than the search for scientific truth. "Big science" was adrift in the early 1990s, like many other beneficiaries of the Cold War, and was desperate to sustain its federal funding. Global warming had all the key attributes of the next big cause.
30aug02 The Conservative Crisis
Tom DeWeese
Conservatives would never concede their liberty to Swastikas or Hammer and Sickles, but tuck it in a Green blanket called "environmental protection" and they will toss those liberties on the fire like an old-fashioned book burning.
8aug02 Environmentalism Kills: West Nile Fever Spreads
Alan Caruba
...behind closed doors, the American Mosquito Control Association fears this nation will lose virtually all of the insecticides still available to defend people against the new plague of West Nile Fever and the return of Malaria to the US.
26jul02 The Green Plan for Global Domination
Alan Caruba
Up to now no Green has so boldly stated the true intention of the movement. However, the presentation of 'Restructuring the Global Economy' was a rare occasion when deliberate deception was not used to mask the Green's true intentions.
10jun02 Climate Action Report
Kim Weissman
Dr. Sallie Baliunas, (Astrophysicist, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics; Deputy Director, Mount Wilson Observatory) points out that between President Bush's proper rejection of the Kyoto Protocol a year ago and the EPA's new climate report, "in the interim there has been no new science to cause the shift in viewpoint".
6jun02 The Kyoto Protocol and Global Warming:
What Does Science Say?
Sallie Baliunas – astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and deputy directory of Mount Wilson Observatory
Whereas the economic catastrophe that would occur as a result of implementing the Kyoto Protocol is a certainty, the likelihood of an environmental catastrophe resulting from a failure to implement Kyoto is extremely speculative.
1apr02 Energy Footprints
Kim Weissman
While the denizens of Washington and New York bask in their alternate energy, it won't be their countryside that is dominated by mile after mile of solar stations and wind farms; and it won't be large swaths of their fertile farmland that is seized by eminent domain to plant thousands of transmission towers and tens of thousands of miles of power lines.
24mar02 The "Complete" Green Matrix
Diane Alden
The citizens of the United States need to decide whether to take the red pill or the blue pill, because the "green cure" may not be to their liking.
4mar02 The Terrorists You Don't Hear About
Tom DeWeese
This group was responsible for an attack that resulted in a $5.3 million loss in 2001... the third most destructive only to the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks and only one of 137 acts for which it claimed credit.
4mar02 Are Humans Using Up Too Much Sun?
Alan Caruba
Follow me closely now because you will learn why virtually everything any environmentalist or ecologist tells you is the biggest pack of lies you have heard since your husband told you you're not getting fat or your wife told you she doesn't care you're going bald.
7feb02 The Cruelty In Klamath
Tom DeWeese
The cruelty perpetrated against some 1400 farm families in the Klamath Basin of Oregon was not simply a piece of bureaucratic bungling of the Bureau of Land Management. Hidden from public view was the dark hand of the United Nations' Environmental Program.
23jan02 Anti-Christ Of The Green Religion
David Thomas
A former member of Greenpeace, has been branded a traitor by the international environmental movement. His crime? He debunked almost all of its claims about the earth's perilous state. Now he is a marked man.
9jan02 Environmental Corruption:
A Cascade of Lies
Alan Caruba
The cascade of lies about everything environmental should, by now, have convinced the public that US government officials responsible for setting national policies and environmental groups seeking to determine what those policies should be cannot be trusted.
4jan02 Just How Crazy Are They?
Alan Caruba
In addition to the Islamic militants among us, we have a cadre of terrorists who need to be hunted and jailed before they become further emboldened to harm our lives and our nation.
1jan02 Desperately Trying to Scare You in 2002
Alan Caruba
The Earth is about 5.4 billion years old. It is, for all intents and purposes, an extraordinary self-regulating mechanism.
22oct01 The EcoTerrorist Anthrax Connection
Tom DeWeese
Most ecoterrorist activity seems to revolve around one group, Earth First! It was founded in 1979 by Dave Foreman who now serves on the Board of Directors of the Sierra Club.
8oct01 Toad-Throwing and Klamath Valley
Vin Suprynowicz
Congress was duped in 1973 into passing the Endangered Species Act by assurances it would be used primarily to make sure the continent's last grizzly bear, last bison, or last bald eagle wasn't shot as a pest and sold for dog food.
7oct01 America's Fifth Column in the New Century
Alan Caruba
Most Americans are blind to just how deep the anti-American, pro-communist agenda runs throughout the "environmental" movement. The Greens used the 9/11 terror attacks as an opportunity condemn capitalism and the American economic success.
21sep01 The Green Taliban of America
Alan Caruba
Until Americans understand how Greens really think, they will never understand that they are united against everything that has made America great. They oppose our economic system and they oppose virtually every aspect of the lifestyle it provides.
7sep01 PETA, Sharks, and A Cure for Cancer
Tom DeWeese
"I keep waiting for some public outrage that will ultimately expose PETA as vicious enemies of the human race, but it never seems to come."
7aug01 When the Eagles Return
The fact is that the mighty green machine has been taking no prisoners for nearly two decades. That machine, as I have said countless times before, is composed of the federal government, the environmental movement and the major foundations.
3aug01 Big Oil, Caribou, and Greed – The debate over ANWR
Sure, it's possible to think this spot is beautiful. But the truth is that the beauty of the coastal plain isn't really in the eye of the beholder, it's in the imagination of the angst-ridden liberals who have never beheld the thing and never will.
1aug01 Kyoto: a global tax on American prosperity
From the beginning it has been clear that the particular mechanisms of the Kyoto Treaty were not designed to alter the global climate in any meaningful way (even if that were possible), but was rather a manifestation of the hatred of economic progress in general, and American prosperity in particular.
23jul01 "Mommy says I can't eat, but fish can."
"…the hopeful alternative to the extinction of millions, possibly billions, of species of plants and animals is the voluntary extinction of one species:
Homo sapiens... us." — VHEMT
13jul01 Shark vs. Boy
It is time, however, to get to the heart of the matter between the Greens and the rest of us: They do not much like human beings, and they care little about how much pain their policies bring to them.
13jun01 Kyoto Nonsense
Neal Boortz
Remember – it's not so much what the media tells you. It's also about what the media doesn't tell you. The environmental movement has become home to the old communist and socialist movements once left homeless by the collapse of the Soviet Union.
28may01 The Myth of Alternative Energy
William Tucker
As environmentalists roam up and down the country opposing every power plant in sight and insisting we can live in a world run on "renewable resources," they are almost invariably quoting Amory Lovins, an obscure genius who is also a bit of a crackpot.
26may01 A New Terrorism Comes Of Age
Alan Caruba
Eco-terrorists and animal rights terrorists are no longer just a small bunch of "loonies", but rather an increasingly well organized and funded group of organizations.
21may01 There has been No Global Warming for the Past 70 Years
The highly respected Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change says global warming alarmists are using biological phenomenon to bolster their claim that the climate is warming at an ever-increasing rate. Nothing, however, could be further from the truth.
19may01 Court Ties Economic Impact to Endangered Species Areas
A U.S. appellate court has determined that when the Fish and Wildlife Service designates critical habitat for an endangered species, it must analyze and consider the full economic impact on the area in which the habitat is located.

ANWAR — a little perspective from an Alaskan citizen
6may01 Above The Law
Kim Weissman unearths the tangled trail of the arsenic in the water "crisis" and reveals the contempt shown for the law by the EPA, Clinton, and Carol Browner and the efforts by the Landmark Legal Foundation to find the truth.
26apr01 Poisoned Water
Kim Weissman
The environmental movement has crossed the line from intelligent and reasoned conservation and pollution control, into outright fanaticism with an utter disregard for the human losses or financial costs that their agenda imposes.
22apr01 Five-Part Exposé on the Enviro-wackos
Tom Knudson, the (liberal) Sacramento Bee's Pulitzer Prize-winning environmental reporter, examines the high-powered fund raising, the litigation and the public relations machine that has come to characterize much of the green movement today

Henry Lamb
Those who need this kind of celebration actually need to be re-tested, or to get therapy, or both. Neither their words delivered from a podium, nor their antics delivered to the media, can help or hinder the planet.
8apr01 Vehement Environmentalism
Kim Weissman
All the elderly investors who just saw a significant portion of their retirement nest egg go up in environmentalist smoke can go whine to the local democrat congressman they helped put in office.
4apr01 Arsenic and Old Logic
Mona Charen
According to the EPA, reducing arsenic levels to 10 parts per billion will save 28 statistical lives per year. We should measure these things rationally and not lose our heads over every toxin that lurks in the muck.

Patrick J. Michaels
"Do the math. Kyoto was a bad deal, whether or not you care about global warming. And it's a good deal that finally there is a world leader with the courage to tell the truth."

10mar01 We Thought The Eco-Nuts Lost!
The whole notion of a scientific consensus [on global warming] has been contrived to disguise the genuine disagreement among scientists on a number of different issues. ..To think that hundreds of scientists could be in full agreement in dozens of separate disciplines is ridiculous.
28jan01 Driving Them Off the Land – Eviction of Western Ranchers 'Amounts to a War of Religions'
