The Western political world is ripe with possibility as improbable bedfellows unite

The American withdrawal from the Paris Agreement to fight climate change came as the bunk about impeachment and collusion of the Trump campaign with the Kremlin dies down, and on a day when the United States moved to all-time stock market highs as measured by Dow-Jones, NASDAQ and S&P, and the Commerce Department posted stunning 3.8 per cent annual economic growth figures.

Having been routed in the Cold War, and domestically in the West by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, the international left retreated into the unsuspecting arms of the 1980s environmentalists: butterfly and bird-watchers, the Sierra Club, Ducks Unlimited, genuine conservationists who cherish nature and abhor pollution. These earnest people were suddenly shouldered aside by the militant left, hardened by the severe defeats they had suffered, who transformed a benign advocacy of an unspoiled environment into a spurious assault on the capitalist system as the engine of planetary suicide via its industrial and consumerist assault on the environment.

Hate to disagree with the article, but the Sierra Club is a Environazi group. They are not just a pack of bird-watchers.

You only scanned the article, right? Some people spot one semi sentence or a couple of words and make their judgment of on that.

“You only scanned the article, right? Some people spot one semi sentence or a couple of words and make their judgment of on that.”

No, I read the article, I was just responding to the comment therein that the Sierra Club were “good guys!” Now you may differ with me on that remark, but that’s what the writer indicated.
