Environmentalists’ Hypocrisy
Reading this title might raise a curious question by any reader, and maybe rightfully so. Who ever heard of environmentalists being haters? They are not, they are protectors, right? Well, we question that based on their actions on many fronts in the past until today. We have addressed and commented on their activities in previous articles, the most recent one entitled ‘Environmental Extremists gone wild‘ was posted on March 31, 2008.
Common Sense anchored rationale tells us that by definition: “If something has to be protected, then it must be threatened!” And who have the environmentalists in this country and for that matter, around the world, protected? Animals of all types, the lands and oceans, water and air and so on. And whom did they have to protect them from? The Human race! These folks, the Environmentalists are convinced that there is only one culprit on planet Earth, the Human being! We have to concede, that there has been abuse of the environment by people in many ways, be it industrial abuses, dirtying the waterways, excessive indiscriminate cutting of forests etc. but we believe that environmental awareness campaigns over the past decades have produced positive results throughout the population in that we recycle products from paper to plastics, glass and more.
So, why then do the environmentalists support extremes on their own? And we mean very specifically the extreme measures that result in punishment to us humans? Since they claim to be the protectors of the environment, why would they intentionally harm us, are we not part of the environment? What the environmentalists apparently believe is that we are the number one enemy on this planet and therefore have to be fought and even brought down. To develop and sustain this strong attitude, one has to be beyond dislike towards something, this is hate! At least, it is in our opinions. When we at Consider Common Sense, as residents in ever growing Southern California are being told that we have to conserve water in our daily lives that is one thing, but when the efforts by private industry and local governments to produce more water by means of desalination plants are being fought tooth and nail by environmentalists because some little fishes might get killed in small numbers, we call that extreme to the point of being hate based. As residents here, we have no power to stop the increase in population; Southern California is a very desirable place to live for a variety of reasons. We also have no impact on the weather in general; we depend on the snow pack in the Sierras in Northern California, water from the Colorado River and the amount of rain we are getting every year for our water supply. We have the infrastructure to supply water to every home and place but if there is no water, it becomes meaningless.
Do the environmentalists care? Not one iota! And when a solution is found such as the planned desalination plant in Carlsbad, California, they will do anything to stop, delay or even deny such a project! And nobody should even try to suggest that it is the concern for protection of some fishes that might perish as a result of such a plant. This is very clearly more than being a protector of animals etc., this is pure hatred for an enemy! When you do not care what happens to people in general and only advise conservation by ignoring other factors, when you will do anything in your power and fight to alleviate a serious problem to an elementary quality of life issue, such as a solution in the increase of potable water to the growing population in a region, you are no longer protectors of whatever, you are extremists motivated by unknown reasons and filled with Hate towards the Human Race.
A similar point could be made about the supply of oil in this country. It is a well-known fact, that there has not been an oil refinery built in the past thirty years in America while demand has shot up drastically based on population growth and industrial output. Drilling for more oil has also effectively been stopped by governments and environmentalist groups, the same holds true for nuclear power plants. And now that we pay $4.00 for a gallon of gasoline and experience severe increases in food prices and other goods, we complain? Have we not seen this coming? Is this truly a surprise? Hello, where have you been or the question should be asked: Why are you so ignorant of basic facts and common sense? We can only blame ourselves for the conditions we find ourselves in and we should have the collective will to do something about it by going after those people that have been working for decades to bring us to this point, the environmentalists, and the haters of mankind! Why are their motives and actions so sacrosanct that nobody can even question them? What will it take for the general population of America to wake up to these facts? Is it $5.00 for a gallon of gas or do we have to wait until it goes up to $10.00 per gallon?
Common sense should tell us not to wait that long but to take affirmative action now, tell our lawmakers in Washington D.C. and throughout the country to get real and change laws to allow alleviating measures for our crises that we face today and that will get worse in the years to come if nothing is being done about it.
