The Moral Bankruptcy Of Greens

Right on the Left Coast: Views From a Conservative Teacher:
I consider myself an environmentalist in that I believe we should find ways to be less polluting and despoiling of our environment. I’m not a political nutjob environmentalist, though, seeking to end modern prosperity.
I’ve written before about the movie Mine Your Own Business. Now, let’s extend those posts to certain environmentalists in general.
* These enemies of the poor say they are “stakeholders” wishing to “preserve” indigenous people and villages. They never consider what’s wanted by the real stakeholders — those who live in these communities and must endure the consequences of harmful campaigns waged all over the world…
* They harp on technology’s speculative hazards and ignore real, life-or-death dangers that modern mining, development and technology would reduce or prevent. They never mention the jobs, clinics, schools, roads, improved housing and small business opportunities — or the electricity, refrigeration, safe water, better nutrition, reduced disease and fewer dead children…
* One could justifiably call it eco-manslaughter — or a racist experiment on powerless, impoverished Third World families…
* Would any of the greens, politicians and celebrities who clamor to keep the world’s poor “indigenous” (and thus impoverished, energy-deprived and diseased) care to live that lifestyle for even one month? Would they exchange their 10,000-square-foot mansions for a hovel, give up electricity and stop globe-trotting in private jets?
We all know the answer to those last questions.
