I saw the mountains covered by many thousands of stark black remains of tree trunks during a visit to Yellowstone last year.

The environment is a favorite among socialist and communist activist for several reasons. First, it's easy to demagogue and paint those against you as "not caring about the earth" or "putting profits before the earth". Second, they can make much progress against freedom and Capitalism before even being noticed.

Libyan dictator Muammar Kadaffi literally wrote a book on the subject of using "the environment" to subdue freedom and recently released documents show that the Soviets are also well aware of how effective environmentalism is in thwarting freedom.

"Debunking" misses the point. The Ecofreaks are not about ecology or saving the planet. They are about Marxist domination of resources and the entire economy and they are about Power. These are the Communists in their new guise after their great bastion in the USSR evanesced and it is no longer useful to be called Communist.

Hehe- I remember back in the '80's when asbestos was determined to be a health hazard, the first ones to start asbestos removal companies were lawyers. The whole scenario was played out over again in the case of the lead paint hazard. Environmental Law, indeed.
