A Catholic charity has launched a scathing attack on the Green movement, describing the excesses of environmentalism as an ideology every bit as dangerous as Communism.
While global warming should be a "crucial issue" for the Church, worshippers must be deeply sceptical about many of the claims made by the environmentalist lobby, a new booklet published by the bishops of England and Wales has said.
Written by Russell Sparkes, an expert in ethical investments, it argues that there is a proven tendency among some "Deep Green" activists to exaggerate the threat of global warming to vindicate their calls for government measures to "forcibly" move the world toward a "sustainable path".

Eco-fascists have already killed millions. Banning DDT - a cheap, effective, and safe pesticide - has killed millions in third-world countries through disease and famine.
Fortunately, a few countries are telling the Greens to stuff and bringing it back.

I would really like to drill for our own oil and develop alternative energy sources-oil is going to go up again and soon. How else will Wall Street make money this years?...we continue to give our dollars to some of the worst people in the world...it’s a national security issue.

There were White Communists, Red Communists and now there are Green Communists. Whatever color they call themselves these days, their policies are the same.

A Catholic charity has launched a scathing attack on the Green movement, describing the excesses of environmentalism as an ideology every bit as dangerous as Communism. The driving force behind the green movement is an evil plan to to control population so they can determine who is worthy of life .
What they are doing is what Hitler did.
They are trying to create a master race of people in their own evil image and likeness.

They are the same movement.Yes and no. It's my considered opinion that the green movement is a tool of communism, which in turn is a tool of totalitarianism.

"It's my considered opinion that the green movement is a tool of communism, which in turn is a tool of totalitarianism."
"This lends scientific support to former Chancellor Helmut Kohl's famous statement about what he took to be the Green party's true nature: ''The Green party is like a watermelon, green on the outside and red on the inside.''
