"Environmental degredation" not "climate change"

Greedy liberals, well meaning bleeding hearts, and uneducated people have hijacked the subject of the environment's well being from serious to ridiculous, from virtuous work to mental and emotional pollution. I have written about this before but I've been trying to think of the "sound byte" that can help people reorient their attention deficit thinking patterns toward a correct short and long term view.

I wish that people would only talk about "environmental degradation" instead of sub categories of what they think are problems. If one is concerned about, studies and measures amounts of "environmental degradation" one by definition is open to all the environmental problems as a whole: pollution, endangered species, land use, air and water quality, emissions, technological and other waste management, etc. If one returns to the mindset that the pioneers of the environmental and ecological movements have, one starts to perceive the global ecosystem as something that must be lived within realistically, with wise stewardship of areas where there is environmental degradation.

When people glom onto one "cause" or "concern" such as "climate change," they are ignoring ALL of the real threats that could cause human health failure, quality of life degradation and irreparable environmental harm. The earth and all its living organisms are "designed" through evolution and other biological processes to "handle" things like an increase in the average temperature or local warmth or aridity. Climate change should not be an issue period. If the earth is warming then life on earth adapts. If pollution or other activities harm the earth's lifeforms ability to adapt then THAT is what must be addressed.

It is hubris to the ridiculous for humans to try to protect the polar bears by 'stopping the melting of the ice caps.' Are you serious? You can't even rebuild a neighborhood in New Orleans after a hurricane. And you think you can legislate "carbon emissions" so that "the ice won't melt?" How do you even know that there is not some as yet unrecognized chemical process so that excess carbon emissions in certain areas of the world actually help keep cool other areas of the world where the ice caps exist? You are such foolish children.

What you should do to "protect," for example, the polar bears is to ensure that man caused environmental degradation does not prohibit or inhibit their ability to adapt to changing climate, if it indeed occurs. When polar bears start to feel pressure because ice packs they are used to start to disappear, for example, humans can anticipate where the bears will move to and ensure that there is no collateral human activity that would harm the bears migration and flourishing in the new areas. THAT is a simple example of how one manages the environment.

Through millions of years animals have done just fine without humans and of course, human ancestors were animals before they became fully conscious. The biology remains, which is that in order to stay healthy the earth does (and must) change and likewise so do the plants, animals and humans. Humans are supposed to be intelligent and self aware, however. If they expect to assist God in being part of the solution, instead of being part of the problem, they must stop their greedy and childish thinking. You create a crass "carbon credit" industry to "stop the ice caps from melting" while ignoring the drugs and chemicals that have permeated the water table and polluted the bodies of every man woman and child. You worry about "the ice caps" and "drought in Africa" while you are on the brink of having ruined the ocean, from which many of the poor used to have protein filled fish to eat. You stand by and worry about the whales (which I share in my concern) without managing the ocean that the whales and everything else depends on, and where human poop and other waste pours unabated while you fish the sea into extinction. You think ED stands for "erectile dysfunction" and worry about the next f*** yet one billion people live on the planet without toilets. How about worrying where people stick their pussies and willies to take a leak and their arses to have their poop and then provide sewage treatment facilities so that you still have an ocean left that you can gaze out over and eat fish from while having your next sexual hook up? How about instead of buying a baby from Africa you build a sewage treatment plant for an entire city? And don't even get me started about the untouchable class in India who have to pick up the human poop from the street by hand to carry to the garbage dump since there are not even pit toilets in most places. And you wonder when poachers destroy tigers and other species?

The foolishness and greed of people who have latched onto the environmental aka "green" movement takes my breath away and not in admiration. All you really care about is lording it over someone else and lining your own pockets, while still nurturing your own self righteous "love of nature." It's a disgrace. When I think how far we could be today if people had stuck to the basics of air and water quality, waste management, restoration of ecosystems, ocean protection and restocking it would make me cry to see where we are now if I had any tears left. You are ignorant and sickening hypocrites. And I don't blame the youth because they don't know better; they have been raised in attention deficit and magical thinking society by attention deficit depressive magical thinking parents. I hope the young people will be the first to see through the lies and feel the call to real science, real environmental stewardship and real policy making that is based on affirmation of life's ability to live, rather than the culture of death, pretend liberal causes, carbon credits and lining one's own pockets with "green."
