The social conditioning of environmental sacrifice
The hype of environmentalism knows no boundaries, and certainly now transcends political parties. We can't lift a single federal finger to end the holocaust of abortion, and certainly have to be conservative and assert state's rights! state's rights! state's rights! when it comes to limiting abortion, but boy when it comes to climate change, everyone but the hard right and the faithfully anti-state libertoids realize that it's nothing more than political conditioning for leftist causes. It gives a much-needed moral component to leftist politics which without simply has too much perversity and depravity to be palatable. Climate change is the great red herring for people to assert on the left and consider themselves moral.
Environmentalism lets us
justify circulating so little water in a polar bear tank that its coat turns green. "Environmentalism" is
used as the pretext for the UN to start demanding that we adjust our diets by eating less meat. It's all a ruse, all a ploy. If the earth were cooling, the same arguments would come out. If the earth were static, you could just as easily say that the natural cycles aren't being followed, again, cause for panic. We get pretty worked up over 1-2 degree variances, and forget that the seasons provide a pretty reliable climate change all year long.

Our coal power plants are even causing warming on Jupiter! |
And that hysteria about climate change has so far been limited to just this planet.
Jupiter's climate change hasn't caught the attention of leftists yet. I guess all of those CFC's are either creating a hole in the o-zone of Jupiter, or perhaps all the pesticides used to grow the eggplant I had for dinner caused too much carbon dioxide in this country, reflecting extra sunlight to Jupiter which caused the warming of its poles, readjusting its temperature mix and causing the warming, right? There's gotta be some explanation. Perhaps after Jupiter, they'll notice that other planets are suffering from America's materialism and overproduction of carbon dioxide.
It'd be more hilarious if it weren't more tragic. And for a group of people, leftists, who proclaim their love for the lower class, they have no problem advocating for these policies which will constrict growth and hurt that class the most. Leftists complain about outsourcing jobs, and then wonder why China has such a competitive edge, not wondering if the years of environmental impact statements and various regulations in this country hampers our ability to employ more workers. The temple of Gaia, our Earth-Mother, is too important to these people to submit itself to reason or the needs of our fellow countrymen. The insanity of environmental policies that promote these ridiculous prescriptions is nothing more than a clear effort to condition us to accept greater government controls, and lead us into statism.
