Coloring the Data --- Greens get caught red-handed committing scientific fraud.
Wall Street Journal ^ | Mar 27, 2002 | Pete DuPont

So many federal agencies have been exposed falsifying environmental data that you have to wonder how many other frauds remain undetected. First came the December revelation that employees of the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Forest Service had planted fake wild lynx hair in states where there were no lynx, so that the areas could be labeled critical habitat, and thus off limits to human use.

People are finally noticing that the Green Machine is not playing nicely, and are becoming ever more willing to say so in public. Lines are being drawn in the sand, and the environmental activist leaders are starting to panic. The little guy now has a fighting chance when they come to take his land or tell him what he is "allowed" to do on what they leave him.

It's not over by a long shot, but at least we're in with a chance now. We can thank Green Machine overconfidence, and we need to pick up the ball and run hard and fast with it.

Also the faulty spotted owl report and the Klamath sucker fish fiasko..

Since this was across state lines its a federal offence...so these greens need a stiff 5 to 10 in the slammer.

So the rhetoric and proposals of the green organizations that make their living and raise their money through predictions of cataclysmic catastrophe are far divorced from reality.

The greens rely on hyperbole and outright lies to advance their agenda. In my freshman biology class in college (many many years ago) my nutball professor proclaimed that it was more than acceptable to exaggerate the dire results of pollution and our use of energy if it meant that man's impact on the environment could be curtailed. I got a big clue to this guy's warped mind when he was talking about being eaten by a tiger - "what a natural way to die, man!" Yikes!

The system is broken and can't be fixed simply because the power to regulate the use of private property is too much power. Investing in political control is certainly cheaper than buying property and can be very profitable. It is too big a temptation for the politically dominant to abet their profit interests through political payoffs. Civic management of the environment simply must die a slow death.

So, does Mr. DuPont have an alternative to political management of the environment? I do.

Even the French are beginning to come around. They still won't say anything nice about America, being miffed over the deal with Louisiana and Mexico, but at least they are not supporting the Global Warming crowd as much.

Hey, I noticed that you are or about to become jobless.

Are you a casualty of the Davis Recession and smashing of the Kali economy!

Gun control and environmentalism require that the supporter of either lie.

Thanks for this article. I'm bumping for a later read for my husband (and maybe to copy for my daughter to counter the propaganda she receives at school and through the media).

So why the lying? It seems deceit is the only way the greens can advance their Luddite agenda.

Selfishness about their own agenda?

Court documents showed the Forest Service had knowingly used false data on spotted-owl habitats ...

May I ask? If the spotted owl completely disappeared, would anyone notice? Wouldn't other raptors rush to fill the vacuum if the field mouse population suddenly exploded?
