These ten points give us a principled ideological framework for supporting the environmental measures that are actually worthwhile while refusing to go along with the dangerous liberal version of environmentalism and all it entails. I do not claim these are original ideas, and conservatives have been applying them in the daily cut-and-thrust of politics for years. What is somewhat new is the idea that we need to not just apply these concepts but make known to the electorate that these are the concepts we are applying. We need the public to know in a detailed and explicit way that we have a coherent ideology on the environment and that this is it. We need to get the electorate to grasp at an intuitive level that we DO stand for a form of environmentalism, just not the liberal form. The electorate strongly suspects we don't like environmentalism at all, a suspicion that grows when all we can say is that we're against liberal environmentalism. It needs to be told, explicitly, the nature of what we are for. We can fight for a generation on these points.

You'll have to take your children out of public schools to combat the environmentalist wacko education being fed to them.

Don't know if ouroboros bumps you; here's a second bump just in case...

Difference #1: Conservative environmentalism believes environmental protection is a good like any other, i.e. a thing that one rationally trades off against other goods to obtain.

Difference #2: Conservative environmentalism genuinely believes in science; liberal environmentalism is quite happy to exploit mythology.

Difference #3: Conservative environmentalism is anthropocentric, not biocentric.

Difference #4: Conservative environmentalism insists on economic rationality.

Difference #5: Conservative environmentalism is respectful of property rights.

Difference #6: Conservative environmentalism believes environmentalism is not a religion.

Difference #7: Conservative environmentalism is respectful of national sovereignty.

Difference #8: Conservative environmentalism is honest about the number one threat to the American environment: immigration.

Difference #9: Conservative environmentalism is just as concerned with the human environment as with the natural environment.

Difference #10: Conservative environmentalism appreciates the way in which many environmentalist values, like the concept of stewardship, are really longstanding conservative values.

Thanks for posting this. I have done some activism around environmental issues but most of it was from a lefty perspective. I am now trying to find a way to deal with these issues from a conservative/libertarian point of view. I found something called eco-logic that seems to be a good place to start- they have a free newsletter.
