  1. Can’t see the dead tree media ever letting the envirotards die off, they canonize them into something along the Che lines.. then wax poetically about the goofs for decades to come..

  2. Every decade has its panic. In the 70’s we were going into another ice age. In the 80’s the hole in the Ozone layer would fry us. In the 90’s the rising oceans would drown our coastal cities. In the 2000’s global warming would destroy us as a species. In the 2010’s we will freeze due to climate change. So, for over 40 years we have supported these chicken little drones and snake oil salesmen, only to get back to where we started from. It has cost trillions and brainwashed millions yet we still pay tax on a .039 % trace gas essential for life. A tax on nothing. The magic words that explain the reluctance for all governments to side with realists when all evidence shows the IPCC are only modern witch doctors and have a worse track record than the farmers Almanac. The only difference between now and the past is greed and the huge potential to fleece the masses.

  3. All ideologies – for environmentalism is certainly one of them – tend to have core demographics to propel them along; the more broad-based that demographic, the more self-sustaining in the long run. The more narrow the demographic, the less sustainable the ideology (I give you the United Church of Canada).
    In November last year there was tremendous heat and light over the 50th anniversary of JFK’s assassination. The unstated subtext was this: it was the last hurrah for the “Camelot Generation” who are now shuffling off this mortal coil. Everyone else was either too young to be greatly influenced by the Kennedy era – or not yet born.
    Environmentalism is a weak ideology as ideologies go (compare it to Islam!). It seems to me that its major flaw is that it is just too expensive to have a practical appeal for ordinary people. It’s a cause for a well-heeled, self-contented middle class who don’t have to deal with its consequences.
