The Biggest Environmental Disaster
Is The Environmental Movement


Anyone who has listened to me through more than a passing conversation knows that I consider the modern environmental movement Public Enemy Number One! I believe environmentalists are responsible for more death, deprivation and suffering than all the world's despots combined.

I do not have definitive numbers to back that claim, but just consider this fact: Since Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring was published in 1962, leading to the ban on the use of the pesticide DDT and the resurgence worldwide of the anopheles mosquito, malaria deaths among African children have steadily risen to numbers exceeding 2,000 per day. Makes Adolph Hitler's Nazis seem like Boy Scouts.

Think about that number. In ten years it is 73 million avoidable deaths, thanks to an environmentalist's whacko claim that DDT was wiping out the world's bird population. That claim was not based on sound science. Even if ingesting DDT-laced insects did cause birds to lay soft-shelled eggs which would not hatch, as Carson claimed, better science has shown that birds were developing an immunity to any such cause and effect. Never mind those facts. Carson's prose persuaded the environazis. They, in turn, persuaded governments around the world. DDT was out - anopheles was in..

Malaria deaths among African children, however, is only a part of the devastation caused by environuts. Consider our energy problem. America sits atop the world's largest energy reserves, oil, gas and coal. America possesses the technology to retrieve those reserves. Yet, our nation is hopelessly energy-dependent, has become the world's largest debtor and has staggering unemployment. Removing onerous restrictions on drilling, frakking and mining on Federal lands would solve our energy problems, put Americans back to work and selling our excess energy on the world market may be our only hope of recovering the $16 trillion our government has wasted in this current century.

Sadly, the United states Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protects only the environmentalists. To accomplish this, the EPA violates the law at every turn. Check this link.
