The Religious Left
It's a cult. The only difference between the religions right and the religious left, is that the religious right worships a man, and the religious left worships a woman. And no, I'm not talking about Hillary Clinton. In the Religion of the left, the God of Global Warming is Mother Nature, the Earth is Heaven, and mankind is the Devil and should be cast out from paradise.
Many of the people who began sounding the global warming alarm, are the same environmental do-gooder flower children, that were foretelling the end of the world in the 1960's and 70's. First, it was the coming of the new
ice age. Europe was to be frozen by the year 2000 they exclaimed. Crops would die as much of Europe, Asia and North America are consumed by the ice. Then it was the depletion of the ozone layer. And does anyone remember acid rain? As if living under the threat of a nuclear winter wasn't enough! Carbon taxes, oil rationing, and unrealistic government imposed regulations will be the end results of the misguided efforts of these anti-capitalist enviros.
The common thread in all these scenarios is that mankind is the evil that threatens the Earth. In the extreme green view, mankind is the scourge of this planet, the bottom rung of the ecological ladder. It's a radical view in which the cause is justified by any means necessary, including Eco-activism tactics such as
hacking into and changing electronic road signs to display environmental messages. Some may consider these actions to be harmless pranks, but where should we draw the line? When does
eco-activism become
eco-terrorism? In June, 2001, Jeffrey Luers was sentenced to 22 years in prison for the burning of three SUVs in Eugene, Oregon, with the help of a friend named "Critter" to make a statement about global warming.
