Secretary of State John Kerry is a rabid environmentalist and is dictating foreign policy based on "climate change."
Obama's new White House policy adviser John Podesta [a Hillary advocate], past President, Chair and Counselor of the Center for American Progress is there to help structure Obama's WH policy EO's toward deep environmental [read "socialist"] aims.
Center for American Progress is the lead on the Democratic Party's liberal superstructure.
J.R. Dunn - July 2012: "..................All the groups involved in the Wisconsin campaign were superstructure groups. The unions, the very core organizations of the superstructure, without which it's no more than a pack of vegetarians and aging hippies. The media, which serves as its propaganda arm. And the judiciary, which is broadly infiltrated by leftist partisans whose allegiance has been awarded to something other than the law.
But it's when we review the Prosser accusations that the picture attains clarity. According to Byron York, the story (which had been held back for nearly two weeks) was first reported by the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism working with Wisconsin Public Radio. (Two guesses as to which end of the spectrum they lean toward.) The Prosser story was billed as the result of a project funded by the Open Society Institute to enlighten the public about Wisconsin government.
The report was picked up by ThinkProgress, the strike force for the Center for American Progress, which both tweeted and posted the story, as well as calling for Justice Prosser's ouster.
The interesting thing here is that the Open Society and the Center for American Progress are the flagship organizations of the liberal superstructure, the outfits that call the shots, handle the funding, and coordinate efforts. They are also funded by Old Spooky himself, George Soros. The left rolled out their big units for this effort. Why? To wreck the career of a junior state Supreme Court justice? To take control of the Dairy State? Perhaps so, but I believe it was also in hopes of testing out the superstructure as a political delivery system in a relatively closed environment."..............Democrats Unveil the Weapon of the Future
Holdren was asked by Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions to cite scientific data that supported claims that droughts and other weather events were being made worse by global warming. Sessions then cited contradicting evidence from climate scientists, including former NASA scientist Dr. Roy Spencer and University of Colorado climate scientist Roger Pielke, Jr.
Holdren countered that the likes of Pielke and Spencer “are not representative of the mainstream scientific opinion on this point.”...........................
When they agree to de-grow their foundations, I will agree to talk to them.

Well, Anna... if I had to guess, I’ll bet you use your big honkin’ salary on gas for your SUV, designer pantsuits made by slave labor in Sri Lanka, and tony vacations to Nepal and Galapagos.
Green elites are the absolute biggest hypocrites that exist on this supposedly overcrowded planet!

After Ehrich’s infamous wager with Julian Simon, this Malthusian should be embarrassed to show his face in public.
But they have no shame, just a very, very strange religion.
Or 1/10th of the government we currently have, so people and their markets could figure out temporary resource allocation problems without meddling by feckless dilettantes.
The Obama Administration is apparently filled with true believers in "de-growth" - they are doing everything they can to de-grow America as much as they can before their term is up.
We’re dealing with eco-Nazis who can’t be reasoned with. If you don’t know how to fight or use weaponry, start learning today. If you’re a skilled warrior, teach others those necessary skills. Finally, if you’re in a red commie state, move to a blue patriot state now. It’s time to muster.
Capitalism provides the opportunity to work hard and become wealthy.
Socialism mandates universal poverty.
That “livable wage” has to come from somewhere.
Or they could just cut to the chase and go for the ultimate goal - mass reduction of the human population.
So if these enviro-marxists are oh so concerned about de-growing, why are they headquartered in London and D.C.? Shouldn't they be operating out of tents in an Indian reservation or some other equally low-tech area?
If the “greenies” like the de-growth thing so much, how ‘bout they live in some 10” x 10” cabin subdivision without sewers, heat or running water. No car either. If and when they ALL do that, maybe they’d be almost credible.
Leftists will never have the courage, or the honesty, or the integrity, or the ability to really say what their true intentions are. This means you, Soros. And you, Center for American Progress.
Some quotes from times past that accidentally slipped out but will never be admitted by the leftist environmentalists:
“No matter if the science is all phony, there are collateral environmental benefits.... Climate change [provides] the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world.” Christine Stewart, Canadian Minister of the Environment in a quote from the Calgary Herald
“Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing — in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.” Tim Wirth , while U.S. Senator, Colorado. After a short stint as United Nations Under-Secretary for Global Affairs. Served as President, U.N. Foundation, created by Ted Turner and his $1 billion “gift”
“Man is always and everywhere a blight on the landscape.” John Muir, founder of the Sierra Club
“Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social and environmental.” Dave Foreman, Earth First! and Sierra Club director (1995-1997)
I’d say they have the right man and the right policies currently in the administrative branch of the federal government to do exactly what they want.
All of this is true, but I wonder if Gore understands the implications. Affluent societies are already doing these things spontaneously. It turns out the affluence is the answer to Malthus. Wealthy societies, and wealthy cohorts within societies, have fewer children for all sorts of perfectly understandable reasons. The sooner we can get the third world up the development ladder, the better.
Of course, if one's real objective is to grow government, population control. limits to growth, and micromanaging other people's choices are just handy excuses.
If they are willing to walk their talk why don’t they move to the Sudan or Somalia.All their wishes will become true.
That will allow us stupid ones to remain and suffer a lingering horrendous suicide,driving vehicles and living in air conditioned misery.
Who realizes Hitler was vegan and big enviro before he become Chancellor?
Nazism's Final Solution was a direct product of German environmental socialism. Their presumptive scarcity of resources introduced a valuation of citizenry ...and the solution.

I’d like to hear them explain how they propose paying all the social security, medicare and Nat’l debt liabilities when expected growth is taken out of the formula?
