Is today's environmental movement corporate America's new eco-friendly right hand? Look for the green tag.

Question

According to EcoWorldly, since 2007, food riots have occured in Mexico, India, Morocco, Egypt, China, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Uzbekistan, Indonesia, Yemen, Guinea, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Mauritania and Senegal. Countries have stopped allowing food exports.

Here in America the environmentalists are lobbying nonstop for more programs to TURN MORE FOOD INTO GASOLINE MORE EFFICIENTLY. Oil barons of old are tied by the hip to the new green industry corn barons of 2008-2009. Preventing a possible 1 to 3 degree temperature rise in a hundred years is the mission. While in Haiti they feed their kids MUD CAKES.

RESPONSE SO FAR. All those studies are a lie.

Well, there is a World Bank report that came out just this morning suggesting worldwide clamaty. They are not usually willing to lie for the powerless and the starving of the world but they were more compassionate than the environmental movement.

This has truely been a sad, rough year for humanity.

Answer 1

Climate change is a money and power grab scheme by bottom feeder politicians and power brokers. It's nothing to do with ecology and everything to do with money.

Con artists like Gore have enriched themselves on this issue, taking home Oscars, Nobel Prizes and millions of dollars. Meanwhile, evangelical leaders are setting up their flocks for extreme fleecing by leftist politicos like Barack Obama, who will appeal for Christian votes by talking in glowing, biblical-sounding terms about "being good stewards of God's creation."

Here is truth about global warming:

Global warming is one-half of the climatic cycle of warming and cooling.

The earth's mean temperature cycles around the freezing point of water.

This is a completely natural phenomenon which has been going on since

there has been water on this planet. It is driven by the sun.

Our planet is currently emerging from a 'mini ice age', so is

becoming warmer and may return to the point at which Greenland is again usable as farmland (as it has been in recorded history).

As the polar ice caps decrease, the amount of fresh water mixing with oceanic water will slow and perhaps stop the thermohaline cycle (the oceanic heat 'conveyor' which, among other things, keeps the U.S. east coast warm).

When this cycle slows/stops, the planet will cool again and begin to enter another ice age.

It's been happening for millions of years.

The worrisome and brutal predictions of drastic climate effects are based on computer models, NOT CLIMATE HISTORY.

As you probably know, computer models are not the most reliable of sources, especially when used to 'predict' chaotic systems such as weather.

Global warming/cooling, AKA 'climate change':

Humans did not cause it.

Humans cannot stop it.

Answer 2

It is sad that socialism has progressed.  The worst thing for the poor is for socialism to metastasize.  The green movement is obviously tied to socialism more than corporations.  Some corporations have seen the opportunity to make a buck by capitalizing on the green fad.  Much of the food crisis is caused by the failure of the rice crop in Asia.  I am not a big ethanol bio-fuel proponent but the high costs are probably only temporary since there is plenty of land that is not being farmed.  Our best bet is to let the free markets work.  Subsidies for ethanol and bio-fuels are not free market solutions and are therefore bound to have numerous problems.  That is the real lesson IMO.

"Here in America the environmentalists are lobbying nonstop for more programs to TURN MORE FOOD INTO GASOLINE MORE EFFICIENTLY."

We most certainly are NOT doing that. The agribusiness lobbyists are, and politicians from corn producing states are, and Auto companies like Chevy are using it as a marketing ploy, but ACTUAL ENVIRONMENTALISTS ARE AGAINST CORN BASED ETHANOL.

A small chunk of the environmental movement is comprised of members of the corporate community who are using increased environmental awareness as a tool for marketing their product. But to characterize the entire movement, which comprises people from around the globe, in such a limited capacity is a real insult. Oh, and industrial agricultural corporate growers or "corn Barron's" are about as far from the environmental movement as you can get without physically beating eagles to death or dumping dioxin directly into nursery schools.

Real environmentalists say: "Fork Corn Ethanol".
