This year's Earth Day celebrations were held Wednesday, April 22nd, at various locales on Earth and to hear the Earth Dayers speak, it was a rousing success. Most people didn't notice it happened.
This was the 39th annual Earth Day lumped together with the 2010 observances as "The Green Generation," in recognition of the advent of spring, I foolishly assumed, but that was an incorrect assumption as it turns out. I guess the package deal is meant to reduce the Earth Day carbon footprint, or something.
Oldsters may recall the original Earth Day in 1970 when its proponents were warning Earthlings to button up our overcoats. Believers assumed that by now the then-imminent New Ice Age would have spread across the continent and enveloped everything from the Statue of Liberty to the fruited plain to the Golden Gate Bridge in one huge ice cube. We all know what assumptions and assuming can lead to.
We all make mistakes, no? The Earth Day people view critical mistakes not as monumental failures but as occasions to re-group, take a temperature reading, and re-define what they're talking about since that can vary a great deal.
The Great Freeze Scam was thereafter supplanted in favor of the Global Warming Scam, merely coincidental with age-old, cyclical and natural solar activity, until the damned planet started cooling off again. Undismayed by reality, those who truly care about the Earth as opposed to the rest of us who don't give a damn, switched gears and tactics and adopted a new buzz term, "climate change." That, they figured, would cover them no matter what the Earth decided to do.
Put another way, any port in a storm, as long as an atmosphere of crisis could be maintained. Crises scared people and a sense of crisis in lieu of actual scientific substance was much more effective in instilling fear. More importantly, scared people would go along with just about anything, even absurdity.
Within the infinitesimally brief period of mere decades, the Earth Day gang had gone full circle. They initially were warning humankind that we were all gradually becoming encased in a global glacier that would be so cold that human habitation throughout the planet would be extinguished and we would all wish we were basking in the warm fires of Hell. When that scare went thud as temperatures rose, the gang flip flopped to terrifying the planet that it would be bubbling over from an unbearable, unending heat. Lady Liberty and the Golden Gate could be on the verge of melting into, respectively, New York harbor and San Francisco Bay and America's fruited plain would be like toasted oats. They finally settled on the fail-safe, mid-range buzz term of climate change which would cover their crisis-centered sorry asses no matter what.
I think the 2004 blockbuster movie, "The Day after Tomorrow" was the tipping point in the thinking of the Earth Day scaremongers. It had some great special effects but the preposterous premise that the hot horrors of global warming would, virtually overnight, lead to the frigid ferocity of global freezing tested their imaginations to such a degree that an alternative had to be found to preserve the minds of Al Gore and Company, and climate change was their savior.
Hope springs eternal with that whole crew, not hope for humanity as much as hope to accomplish the true goals of the movement which are wrapped up in U.N. schemes such as the Kyoto Protocol and re-distribution of the world's wealth, a euphemism for stealing from Americans to give unto non-Americans. There are, of course, other forces in play, too numerous to detail here but all of which have as the ultimate, long-term goal of giving America its well-deserved and long overdue comeuppance and, as candidate Obama let slip with Joe the Plumber, forcing us into "sharing the wealth."
By far the best book on the subject, devoid of gobbledygook and stuffed with straightforward facts, is, "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism" by Christopher C. Horner. Also worth a read are a slew of other worthwhile articles on my website.
Even more insulting to intelligence than the whole United Nations plot and the pseudo-environmentalist charade that is Earth Day is this excerpt from The Earth Day Network which, by the way, anticipates a billion participants and "a billion kinds of green:"
"Earth Day Network's "Green GenerationTM" campaign is . . . Similar to "The Greatest Generation" that confronted the challenge of World War II, who inspired the major societal changes that followed, the Green Generation includes ordinary people who are engaged in individual and collective activities to improve their health, to improve their schools, to participate in building a solution to urgent national and global issues, such as climate change or the world's water crises: http://www.earthday.net/greengeneration."
That's all very inspiring, all very uplifting, and all poppycock slander to compare Earth Day radicals, the Green Generation, to World War Two's Greatest Generation. Note what they do and not just what they say: The Greens are intent on tearing down America and resurrecting it in its own distorted image as a new world order, an internationalist, socialist, greenish world. The Greatest Generation of American heroes weren't much concerned with "societal changes." They fought for and were dedicated to the survival and prosperity of the United States of America as a free and independent nation.
To our great benefit and deserving our unending gratitude, the Greats won the war and succeeded in their goals. To our great detriment and greater shame will the Greens win and succeed in theirs.
