Friends of the Earth are Nobody's Friends
The New Media Journal ^ | November 6, 2007 | Alan Caruba

Posted on 11/06/2007 4:12:50 AM PST by NewMediaJournal

While most of us spend our time working to pay our energy bills and put food on the table, Friends of the Earth (FOE) spend theirs doing everything in their capacity to insure that the nation and the world will not have sufficient energy to meet the needs of the human family. They may be friends of the earth, but they are no friends of those of us who live on it.

This Mother of All Green Groups has devoted itself to finding every way possible to make our lives miserable, all in the name of protecting the environment. They are, of course, totally devoted to the Big Lie about Global Warming.

In a recent news release (10/3/07) FOE said, “The science is unequivocal. Global climate change is real, occurring at an alarming rate with catastrophic consequences.”

Well, let’s understand something. The climate is always in a state of change.

If, by “climate change” FOE means “global warming”, a term they’re trying to use less these days because they know how discredited it has become, then the assertion that “catastrophic consequences” are due any day now demonstrates how the entire environmental movement is based on scare tactics and oblivious to the truth.

They are so perverse, they will stab you in the back for free.

Frankly, I think this enviromentalism fad is nothing more than the filling of the vacuum left by the implosion of religion in the West. Environmentalism promises to save people, to redeem them from their sins, and allows nasty people to feel holier-than-thou. It will even let them pledge a portion of their income to the efforts.

People need meaning in their lives. If the churches are not going to provide it, somebody else will.

It’s when the dirt starts talking back that it’s time to start to worry.
