OPINION:
Earth Day used to be a celebration of our individual and collective responsibility to protect the planet and improve human health. It was about science and data. Unfortunately, today, Earth Day has little to do with the planet and more to do with far-left agendas meant to increase control over the population.
The paint-throwing, street-blocking activists will be out in force pushing their narrative of climate doom, more than happy to ignore science in the process. The media will reflexively add credibility to the nonsense.
President Biden will tout the importance of some patently unachievable electric vehicle or emissions goal. Social media Pied Pipers will play their silly tune about how more of our money in the hands of runaway bureaucracy can change the temperature of the Earth.
Today’s socialist Democrats have used climate change to alter the national conversation from reasoned environmental protection to an irrational, emotionally damaging hysteria only loosely based on science.
As was laid bare at the height of the pandemic, far-left liberals in America are willing to be openly anti-science to drive their agenda of division and control. They routinely ignore or deny the substantial environmental progress that the United States has made in the last half a century, as well as the nation’s long-standing leadership role in environmental protection.
They ignore that even before the breathless push for electric vehicles and emissions caps, the U.S. was beating Europe in reducing carbon dioxide emissions. They ignore that while geologic history and environmental science make clear that the climate changes, there is little scientific data to support any effort by the U.S. government or Western governments collectively to affect the planet’s temperature.

“Environmentalism is deeply embedded in the veins of Islam. It is about personal behavior and how it manifests itself in our association with others and also about being considerate in our relationship with the natural world and other sentient beings,” according to a U.N. statement.

Some local volunteers did a stream and woods clean up, which is exactly what my neighborhood did fifty years ago.
Conservative, liberal, a good way to come together and make the town better.
I've yet to have someone tell me they WEREN'T successful in this. LOL.
Correct me if I’m wrong. Wasn’t earth day started by a guy who murdered his girlfriend and hid her body in a trunk. Or is that some other ‘holiday’?
You ever see the Washington Mall, after Earth Day? It took two days to pick up all the trash they left behind.
Kwanzaa was started by the Long Beach State professor who killed his gf. I always thought Erf Day was to celebrate Vladimir Lenin’s b-day.
No. You’re thinking of Ira Einhorn, who claimed to have been involved in the founding, but it wasn’t true.
Correct. Ira Einhorn also chose the date of Earth Day because it is the birth date of a certain V. I. Lenin.
I bought my little God daughter an Earth Day t-shirt in the late 1980s.
I’ve since come to regret that.
No? I thought he was, but I would be interested to know whether the monster stepped in after the beginning of Lenin's birthday Earth Day.
The way I understood it, it is. If you admire a murderer, it is the day for you.
That’s funny, since Earth Day was originally created over a concern for environmental pollution. (The only thing people thought about ‘Climate Change’, back then was that we’d die in ice, not in fire.)
Right out of the Hellenic Culture that both Jews,Muslims and Christian took from and pretty much anybody else around the Near East and Mediterranean.
They still ignore their real founder of Earth day, Ira Einhorn who murdered and composted his girlfriend.
