Environmentalism is the quasi-religious movement that believes that all that is good is non-human; that humans are a scourge on the planet (to the extent that they don’t live like animals). Even the air that humans exhale is now deemed a poison to be rationed.

It’s not difficult to see how this “ideal” works in practice: mass human suffering and death. Since humans are increasingly not allowed to convert natural elements in to useful products, living as a human is becoming more difficult. (These natural elements are NOT scarce by any measurement.)

Although the media conspicuously avoids this point, years of environmentalist-inspired restrictions have reduced the supply of wealth-creating fuel. In 1995, Klinton vetoed attempts to open any of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to oil production. For decades, environmental laws have also kept the California coast off limits to any new oil drilling.

Creating vital goods and services costs more because the fuel that runs the wealth-creating machines is being choked off by environmentalist propaganda. Getting to and from the workplace is eating up more wealth. The rising cost of obtaining food has caused a “food crisis.” As the machines of wealth production increasingly slow down, will Al Gore, Greenpeace and their ilk apologize to the starving humans? Will they force more wealth away from the free world while at the same time making that wealth increasingly difficult to create?

You are now officially being affected by bad environmentalist ideas. It’s time to stop supporting them and start speaking up for reason and human prosperity.
