Environmentalism
In General
In a few words:
Throughout
Scripture, God repeatedly condemned His people, not for despoiling the
pristine wilderness, but for forsaking the poor and needy. Is this not
His same message to us today?
Chuck
Colson, writing Breakpoint

what Kent thinks of environmental-ism

Here is a little
preview of the second article:
"The American people must be made aware
of what environmentalism actually stands for and of what they stand to
lose, and have already lost, as the result of its growing influence.
They must be made aware of the environmental movement's responsibility
for the energy crisis and the accompanying high price of oil and oil
products . . . its consequent responsibility for the enrichment of Arab
sheiks at the expense of the impoverishment of hundreds of millions of
people around the world, including many millions here in the United
States. They must be made aware of its responsibility for the vastly
increased wealth, power, and influence of terrorist governments in the
Middle East, stemming from the high price of oil it has caused, and for
the resulting need to fight a war in the region."

Those Goofy
Environmentalists
This is actually an RH print
re-run. But it fits here as an account of how some professing
Christians can get goofy about environmentalism. Some criticized
what say here about DDT. I am not an expert on this by any means,
but I leave my original comments about DDT here. For more
information about DDT and malaria, see the article below.
DDT Use and Malaria
If you care to wade through this, you
can learn a lot about the use of DDT to control malaria.
Environmentalists often view human beings as a problem, even the most
innocent of whom can be sacrificed to their ideology. (This
selection is used with the permission of the Acton Institute.)

Things from Environmentalists.

A lot of bad ideas start outside Christian
thought - that's a good thing - and finally filter into the Christian
thought - that's a bad thing. The "religion" of
environmentalism is a good example of one of these ideas.
Environmentalism can easily become "wacky." For examples:
"I think if we
don't overthrow capitalism, we don't have a chance of saving the world
ecologically. I think it is possible to have an ecologically sound
society under socialism. I don't think it's possible under capitalism."
Judi Bari, Earth First!
"No matter if
the science is all phony, there are collateral environmental benefits
... [C]limate change [provides] the greatest chance to bring about
justice and equality in the world." Christine Stewart, Canadian
Environment Minister.
"We must make
this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists, and their
projects…[W]e must reclaim the roads and plowed land, halt dam
construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers and return
to wilderness millions of tens of millions of acres of presently
settled land." Dave Foreman, "Confessions of an Eco Warrior," 1991.
"We've got to
ride the global-warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is
wrong, we will be doing the right thing, in terms of economic policy
and environmental policy."
Timothy Wirth, Clinton Administration U.S. Under Secretary of
State for Global Affairs, and one of a number of politicians (including
Barbara Boxer, Barney Frank, Al Gore, John Kerry, Christopher Shays,
and others) who were designated as "Green Leadership for the '90s."
It has become apparent lately that many
Christians have decided to jump on the environmentalism
bandwagon. Articles pointing in this direction have begun to
appear in Christian publications from the Lookout to Christianity
Today.
And as scandals have begun to reveal that many "scientists" were lying
about the human role in climate change, look for many 'Christian'
groups to ignore that and go on preaching "we must stop global warming"
as though it were the gospel. Of course, it is a 'gospel' of
sorts, but it is like those that the Apostle Paul called "another
gospel."

From
watching coverage of 'global warming' you might get the idea that
scientists generally agree that it is a problem that is
human-caused. But here you can find 31,000
scientists who disagree and have registered that disagreement by
signing a petition which reads:
We urge the
United States government to reject the global warming agreement that
was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar
proposals. The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the
environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage
the health and welfare of mankind.
There is no
convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide,
methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the
foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's
atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is
substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon
dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and
animal environments of the Earth.

The Contest No One Has Entered
Ultimate Global Warming
Challenge Ups Prize Money to $125,000 for Proving Humans Cause
Catastrophic Climate Change
Washington, DC, September 25 ─ The
Ultimate Global Warming Challenge announced today that it raised to
$125,000 the cash award to the first person to prove in a scientific
manner that human emissions of greenhouse gases will cause catastrophic
global climate change. (Ultimate Global
Warming Challenge)
"Surprisingly no one has entered the contest
yet," said Steven Milloy, founder and publisher of JunkScience.com and
the sponsor of the Ultimate Global Warming Challenge. "I'm surprised
since Al Gore, the United Nations and the mainstream media all seem to
think that the notion of manmade catastrophic global warming is a
no-brainer," Milloy added.
The Ultimate Global Warming Challenge was
launched on Aug. 7, 2007 with the popular and highly rated YouTube
video entitled, "Can You Save Al Gore?."
"It appears that $100,000 is not enough to spur
Al Gore and other climate alarmists to submit their proofs that humans
are causing global warming," explained Milloy.
"If it's a matter of money, Al Gore and the
alarmists should just come out and tell us what sum it will cost the
rest of us to see what proof they have."

"During the past billion years, the Earth's climate has fluctuated
between warm periods - sometimes even completely ice-free - and cold
periods, when glaciers scoured the continents." So begins this interesting article. It is not
about "global warming," but reading it and exercising even half your
brain will show you that the global warming hype of "environmentALism"
is pointless babble.
