Robert J. Smith, Director of the Center for Private Conservation, explains in this short video how the modern environmentalist movement began in America. A celebrated author and environmental historian, Smith shows how the antiwar movement during the 1960s evolved into an anti-capitalism movement that pushed for public stewardship of the environment.

@DarklingX perhaps, but the government? certainly hasn't done much in terms of keeping jobs from going overseas, yes, better environmental standards will cost more, but if all making companies cleaner does is force them overseas, the government needs to step in an put a tax or something on that so it doesn't happen.

Where will you go to when you die? Have you ever told lies, stolen, used God's name in vain, or looked at someone with lust? If yes, then you are a lying, theiving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart. When you die & stand before God you'll be guilty? of breaking His law. The bible says you'll end up in Hell! So God sent God His Son Jesus to die for your sins, & He rose from the dead on the third day. If you'll believe the Gospel(Jesus? died for your sins & was? resurrected) you'll be saved!

Will being an? environmentalist was the thing and to a lessor extent anti-war, there was a huge difference between the young in cities and those in small towns/rural areas. We were already environmentalist without the title, we cared about hunting/fishing/hiking outdoors more than our city cousins. Commies were not good and politicians fighting the war with rules was more the problem than war itself. But the MSM played it like those scenes shown.

The Anti-Human Mindset Of Environmentalists
Posted by: noteviljustwrong

Video duration: 214 seconds
Global video hits: 19676

Talk to an environmentalist long enough, and eventually they will reveal their contempt for humans. The proof is in this exclusive clip from the forthcoming movie "Not Evil Just Wrong." "They care more about fish eggs than they do about children," said Patrick Moore, a co-founder of Greenpeace.

By: NoEcologyNoEconomy. on 14 Mar 12, 01:39:37
@zooeyhall, reasonable environmentalists don't need to "believe" anything. They go on EVIDENCE of the fact that, without nature, Man would not EXIST. Therefore it's illogical to put Man before nature. Anti-environmentalists are invariably Creationists, who make no effort to understand nature beyond blind faith that it was "put here" by a deity to serve Man (never? proved, just imagined). Disregarding the importance of nature to Man's future is a crime, regardless of the odd Unabomber case.

By: NoEcologyNoEconomy. on 14 Mar 12, 01:31:40
Let's see: Nature keeps humans alive but it's "anti-human" to want to keep nature intact enough to keep humans alive? I'm afraid I don't follow the logic. It's like saying being anti-smoking is anti-human. But I'm also not a Creationist who thinks humans are being kept alive by supernatural decree. Anti-environmentalists tend? to be Creationists. They don't understand how nature really functions, hence they stay trapped in a flawed dogma loop where pro-environmental thinking is anti-human.

By: KuroDesucat. on 11 Mar 12, 03:34:19
I have never heard ANY environmentalist call for the MASS KILLING of people. The only time? that has ever been said is when people like you take a statement like "ideally, there should only be ~1billion people", and report it as "He said we have to kill people to balance the environment". It's ridiculous to think that anyone would say that. As well, I'll see your stance on Christians praying in public, and raise with "Do you think it's okay for Muslims to pray in public?" Be honest

By: KuroDesucat. on 11 Mar 12, 03:23:32
This is obviously propaganda being used to discredit environmentalist findings. I'm not liberal/conservative. I'm human &the truth I believe in: THERE? ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE ON THE EARTH. Enviro's aren't saying kill off people. Just pace ourselves. As with too much of anything, it becomes a problem and to say we need more humans is to ignore reality: Humans are the #1 consumers of all of Earths resources. Saying we have to kill ourselves is stupid. More consumers= less resources = human extinction.

By: augustandjune. on 07 Feb 12, 08:35:13
Yep. I absolutely am amazed at their total hypocrisy. If a Christian wants to say a public prayer, they're called a bigot, racist, hate-spewing fool. Ah, but if a leader openly talks about how killing 90%+ of the world's population? will "save the environment," he/she is called rational, open-minded, and tolerant. I like living, thank you very much. I'm sure there are ways to have conservation without embracing James Bond villain-type madness.

Silly stuff. When one is poisoned, we can recall an "Edenic time" when we weren't -- doesn't mean that the toxicologist who diagnosis it is a priest. He wants a clean environment (alludes to mismanagement in Yellowstone Park), calling for scientific? environmentalism.

''God' will correct the error we make'... Magical thinking like this is encouraged by major polluting corporations. Michael Crichton is grandstanding when these are really serious issues.

By: ViviLiberoOMuori. on 26 Mar 12, 06:10:35
Crichton NAILS it. Here's why I believe so: Environmentalism is far more predominant in liberal areas than in conservative areas. Large metropolitan areas are almost ALWAYS populated by a much higher % of liberals than are found in suburban or rural areas. Rural folks? live with, and most times depend on nature. Their lifestyle must co-exist with their surroundings or else nature ceases to be nature.City folk love fighting for nature, yet refuse to coexist with it.

By: jhohcable. on 26 Mar 12, 05:52:42
Pollution is definitely bad, but Crichton has a point. Of course, his point isn't about pollution and that kind of stuff, it's about the weird worshipping of the? concept of environmentalism (more than the actual environment even).

You really should keep your uninformed opinions to yourself until you have a little more education. A religion is any dogmatic system of thought that addresses what the universe is and what man's role is in view of the universe. Your view of "science," for example, is a religious view.

By: TheTmantyla. on 19 Mar 12, 23:46:13
Also there is no thought of any "entity" in the idiotic, adoring and/or fearful ways the religious fear or worship theirs. Human-caused global warming is based? on documented facts and trends, studied and reviewed and re-reviewed by thousands of researchers who understand the facts, the methods, the potential weaknesses of investigatory methods (and look for them rigorously, not only to protect their own reputations but to unearth truth!). CLEARLY no parallel. Go to a university.

If you took time to read the emails, and understand climate science (beyond your ability? or you'd be out getting a climate science Phd?) they WERE taken grossly out of context by morons and/or those with an anti-environment agenda. That the context argument was also used by Bible defenders is irrelevant.

By: TheTmantyla. on 19 Mar 12, 23:27:15
Crichton is? way off base in his analysis of "religion." A religion can't be proven because it is ordered by fiat--its leaders say things are true, usually based on unprovable statements in an ancient tome, the content of which was cherry-picked by similar leaders over centuries. Science, on the other hand, is provable--and refutable if you have all the facts that fit a new theory to replace the old one. Environmentalism is based on science. It is based on reality, not fantasy.

It "gives them a total view of? the world, in terms of how [it] is structured, what's right..." Certainly! BUT it's not "beliefs," it's science, facts, reality. Validated. Reviewed.

@regresseur,? so-called ClimateGate was a non-issue, based on taking language out of context in a tiny fraction of emails. The CRU was vindicated of wrongdoing by several panels. It's only natural for scientists to get annoyed when half-wits keep trying to tear down their evidence via cherry-picking and casting doubt where none really exists. Crichton was no hero. AGW is simply a physics issue, politicized by avarice. See "The Denial Machine" 2006 if you want to see some truly devious people.

How bright was this guy, really? People who are so obsessed with being "controlled" that they ignore massive scientific evidence are not well-rounded thinkers. They are zealots. Global warming deniers are typically anti-environmentalists, which? puts the lie to claims of them merely "questioning the evidence."

It's worse than that, even. He wasn't negative at all about environmentalism; he was just analyzing it anthropologically. She took his correct analysis as criticism, because she thinks religion is necessary a very bad thing. Basically her question was a? whine: "How can you say something so MEAN about something I really like?" She's such a True Believer that she can't even listen to objective analysis about herself without feeling attacked.

MC is only criticizing the methods in which we use to try to save the environment, which he argues? isn't actually doing anything despite millions of dollars poured in. That's his criticism. If you ever bother to read State of Fear, he made it clear in the end: he acknowledges that environment is changing , and humans play a role in it.

Where is all this radical environmentalism??? We can't even agree on one mild? remedy to offset global warming. We're allowing fracking for oil at the expense of tainting our underground acquifers (someone needs to tell these people that we can't drink oil). I guess they're not worried about the environment because they're all expecting the end-times soon. That makes them very dangerous and a discredit to Christianity. And don't let them fool you -- they do not care one iota about the poor.

However libertarianism is the political translation of that and is espoused by realists (or at least as close as we can get to realists) who believe it is the best we can get to achieve maximum adherence to the non-aggression principle. It is fallacious to separate libertarianism and anarchy into two conflicting camps, and? some extremely ardent anarchists even believe that they are mutually exclusive (can't tell you how many times I've seen libertarianism being called a "statist" ideology)

Or in other words, Anarchism is a political corollary of Libertarianism. If you accept the general arguments of Libertarian philosophy, then you logically arrive at Anarchism.

By: Antithropocentric. on 12 Mar 12, 08:20:16
@kfriesen1979, ever heard of the Canadian tar sands? They may end up clearing boreal forests over an area the size of Florida in coming decades. There was also that massive lie by Rush Limbaugh about having more trees today? than when the Constitution was written. He was off by approx. 120 million acres, and I expect you've taken cues from his talking-points. Nothing is renewable if demand for it keeps growing. Endless population growth has consequences and "management" can only do so much.

By: Antithropocentric. on 12 Mar 12, 08:13:14
@kfriesen1979, why is there ANY talk of logging old growth forest if your claim is true? Get real. Your claims can be debunked by studying maps at the WRI? Frontier Forests site, among other sources. You can't add 80 million people each year to a finite planet and not expect a net reduction in timber, overall. I notice you give a cutoff date of 40 years ago for your N.A. "more trees" claim, which is likely a cherry-picked figure, depending on geography. In the timber business, are you?

You obviously don't ...
By: kfriesen1979. on 11 Mar 12, 15:48:48
You obviously don't know anything about how modern logging works. There is? no more clear cutting allowed and it's done in patches. It is in fact quite sustainable and will be more many more years to come. There is actually more forest in North America than there was even 40 years ago. I know that mill that I work at has to replant for everything that they harvest, plus they pay huge stumpage fees, which helps to keep your taxes low.

By: Antithropocentric. on 09 Mar 12, 07:38:36
@kfriesen1979, human overpopulation and "economic growth" prevents many trees from growing back as fast as they are cut. That's the reason old growth is under threat in the first place (it's self evident to biologists). Logging isn't sustainable when demand for wood? keeps rising.

By: DoomHippie. on 14 May 11, 18:47:48
Actual records also lose many cold-weather research facilities after? the collapse of the Soviet Union. With the cold weather data being lost, we see a sharp increase in temperature that coincides with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the shut-down of Soviet climate research facilities. In fact, compare Gore's "hockey stick" chart to a chart of the number of Soviet research centers and you see a trend. Stop listening to rich, corporate special interests, do research.

By: isocrate27. on 20 Jan 11, 18:24:45
Facts aren't neutral. Anyone trying to say otherwise is lying to you or manipulating you. Max Weber has clearly demonstrated there are only interpreted facts not facts per se. Debates occur between a clash of two or more interpretations not between facts. Nature scientists are generally unaware of their own scientist ideology which make them believe they speak on? behalf of the Truth. Nature scientists should start reading social scientists and philosophers.

By: rugbyguy59. on 08 Nov 10, 01:17:45
So instead of listening to environmentalists why don't we listen to the scientists. There are skeptical scientists. If AGW is so? easy to disprove than they should produce a paper or two that refutes it. Despite the big lie that people are "bailing out" on global warming the consensus and evidence for AGW gets stronger and stronger. And if I shouldn't listen to environmentalists, as deniers keep telling me, why would I listen to this one.

Your cab license personal example shouldn't have been used. It can easily be construed to attack your position. 1. If the Cab was used? the Cab would be forced to drive back and forth. If you had rented a Car you would only have drove there. (Within a vacuum cost half of the gas) 3. If the government raised taxes on car rentals. You would also be more inclined to use the cab. Your internet-based technologies also fail because the internet was developed by DARPA and given away free.

Is Professor Block proposing a form of 'cap-and-trade' with his recommendation that capitalists buy pollution credits, and that the more successful entrepreneurs will be producing more per credit, with less successful businesses unable to compete for the limited? pollution credits? This appears to be the case, but cap-and-trade has received such opprobrium that I'm a bit hesitant to equate Block's proposal with c-&-t.

By: TheLegalImmigrant05. on 20 Aug 10, 15:46:42
The problem with his argument (and I'm surprised he is even making it) is that the decision making process to determine the "scientifically correct" amount of pollution will absolutely be corrupted. In fact, it has been (see Climategate). I wonder if he would advocate carbon trading schemes today. In fact, this part? of his argument is NOT rooted in property rights at all.

Well, the amount of CO2 the human population breathes is about 9% of the amount released by humans through other means. Of those "other means," cars make up 22%. So clearly, breathing isn't as bad as traffic, but it's not a trivial amount of CO2. Now of course, the carbon that one breathes had to be taken out of the atmosphere by some plant or animal which you then ate, which makes breathing? carbon-neutral, unlike cars. Algae-based fuel would put the cars on par with breathing in this way.

Well, if Hooker Chemical was still around and making profits, etc... "bimmjim" might have a point. But when companies engage in bad practices or do wasteful, inefficient things,? they fail. Sure, damage was done, but it's not wholly indicative of markets and private owned projects. But when government wastes and engages in market manipulation, it still stays in business because the coins and paper say, "In God We Trust". Apparently, "The State" is only answerable to "God". *sigh*

Hooker, being a chemical company should have known the dangers. I worked in various industries doing materials science so I was either regulating or being regulated. I know the reality of regulation whether it is environmental, product safety or worker safety. Although I am now retired I continue to do this type of work for free. Check out the link on my? youtube page. In capitalism there is the concept of competition on a level playing field. The field is made of taxes and regulation.

I think an insurance company would make a killing on nuclear power. Considering that the worst nuclear disaster in American history led to zero cases of death and illness, I don't see why the insurance company would have to pay all that much. Meanwhile, XYZ Nuclear Insurance would be collecting payments from plants? that are going along just fine. Given that 40,000 people die on the roads each year, I would think car insurance would have far more potential for going bust.

Regulation is not unbiased, let me explain. Polluting industry -->lobbiest --> politician ---> Regulatory Law -->pollution. If you doubt the power of industry to influence law see the current health care legislation. My point is if you want unbiased regulation? then, the only unbiased regulator is the free market, just as the only unbiased regulator in nature is Darwinian natural selection. And the great thing about both these forms of regulation is that they employ zero lawyers : )

The reason some services are made municipal is that they are impossible to run with a profit in certain areas. In very sparsely populated areas the cost of collection would be enormous, and it is also easier there to throw garbage in the woods somewhere without getting caught. What do you think would happen? Nuclear power can't be ensured because any insurance company would? instantly go bankrupt if there was a serious incident.

Other gas pollutants are worse(they "dirty" they air AND don't lend to much use), but for some reason we keep hearing that CO2 is the problem, lol. ? There are other carbon-containing gases that lead to problems. Folks gotta realize that "carbon emissions" is too broad. We need to be more specific cus that could mean ANYTHING with carbon in it.

A free market has no power structure, it doesn't exclude competition, it doesn't accrue rights to some and not others. Workers produce things, yes,? but they agree to work for those wages. If they want more, they can produce things themselves. The employer provides capital, jobs, and takes on risk.

By: passerby23. on 19 Dec 08, 01:22:28
Corporatism as it stands now with monopoly control and government collusion is very bad. But, it's the anarcho-syndicalists who confuse our current mess with free market capitalism. Corporations in and of themselves are not bad, it's what the law has allowed them to do. And who writes the laws? Investors are not paid for their productivity since they aren't exchanging labor for money.? They are making an agreement to exchange money for capital investment, which creates productivity.

By: McOath. on 19 Dec 08, 00:58:12
ok I apologize I was rhetorically incorrect productivity is important. Fair wages, this ultimately comes down to the labour theory of value, and seeing corperatism as coercive, which you obviously don't. But why is it fair that investors, etc. are paid niether for productivity? nor effort, the workers produce things, yet others get paid for it. The simple solution seems to me to be worker-cooperative (syndicalist) industry. what's so scary about that? how does capitalism not lead to tyranny?

Since he has been up there, he has been harassed by park rangers that he doesn't have a permit to stay out in the "public" forest.

I have been using my public land for over 50 years. Here is a list of what I have used it for: hiking, camping, kyaking, hunting, fishing, berry picking, gathering fire wood, dirt? bike riding, swimming, spelunking, climbing, photographing etc. It is my land and I will tell the Gov. what to do.

The fact that an inept captain was sleeping paving the way for a sleep deprived first mate is precisely? the problem Blcok is speaking of. At least, that's how I interpreted it.

It was actually his first mate who was severely sleep deprived that fell asleep at the wheel. That never got on the media because the story was old not NEWs. But he still correct.

The main difference is that non-profit companies are still subject to the price system and therefore profits and losses. A non-profit company cannot just bleed money/resources indefinitely and wastefully. Also, it is subject to competition. So, if the service it provides is not good enough for the amount of funds it receives, the share of resources that it controls will shrink, to the? benefit of competitors who are doing a better job.

Demand is hardly infinite, take any example of a free finite commodity such as oxygen, do people consume it to the point of exhaustion no. If demand were infinite as you claim there'd be no waste in the market because everything supplied would be consumed except in cases of? artificially high or low prices which we all know are not solely results of government interference, they often are the market attempting to deal with changes in demand. It would make no sense if an infintie factor changed

By: rayyf69. on 24 May 09, 08:14:19
yes your right falling rate of profit would be a problem, if demand was not infinite, which it is. The state interferes with that ability of the market to absorb excess labor by increasing teh costs of hiring labor. The result: unemployment. A Marxist may argue that it would be better to have 90% of the labor force involved in food production, but the fact that 5 % is is not , i think a bad thing. That extra 85% labor force can be involved in other things like, Transit,? housing, luxury.
