No, I'm asserting that the obsessive and compulsive claims made by the
partisans of the polluters lobby about phantasmagorical 'green elites'
conspiring with scientists and socialists to bring down western
civilisation and kill Africans may in part be an example of the
paranoia and anomie widespread in the population at large.

The right to have children should be a marketable commodity, bought and
traded by individuals but absolutely limited by the state."- Kenneth
Boulding, originator of the "Space****p Earth" concept (as quoted by
William
Tucker in Progress and Privilege, 1982)
"We have wished, we ecofreaks, for a disaster or for a social change to
come
and bomb us into Stone Age, where we might live like Indians in our
valley,
with our localism, our appropriate technology, our gardens, our homemade
religion-guilt-free at last!"- Stewart Brand (writing in the Whole Earth
Catalogue).
"Free Enterprise really means rich people get richer. They have the
freedom
to exploit and psychologically rape their fellow human beings in the
process.. Capitalism is destroying the earth." - Helen Caldicott, Union
of
Concerned Scientists
"We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists
and
their projects.. We must reclaim the roads and plowed land, halt dam
construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers and return
to
wilderness millions of tens of millions of acres of presently settled
land." - David Foreman, Earth First!
"Everything we have developed over the last 100 years should be
destroyed."-
Pentti Linkola
"If you ask me, it'd be a little short of disastrous for us to discover
a
source of clean, cheap, abundant energy because of what we would do with
it.
We ought to be looking for energy sources that are adequate for our
needs,
but that won't give us the excesses of concentrated energy with which we
could do mischief to the earth or to each other." - Amory Lovins in The
Mother Earth-Plowboy Interview, Nov/Dec 1977, p.22
"The only real good technology is no technology at all. Technology is
taxation without representation, imposed by our elitist species (man)
upon
the rest of the natural world." - John Shuttleworth
"What we've got to do in energy conservation is try to ride the global
warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, to have
approached global warming as if it is real means energy conservation, so
we
will be doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and
environmental policy." - Timothy Wirth, former U.S. Senator (D-Colorado)

"In scientific circles, C02 is referred to as a `trace gas' that, for
hundreds of thousands of years, has remained at or below five
ten-thousandths of the atmosphere by volume. Even among the so-called
`greenhouse gases' (GHG), C02 accounts for less than 4%, with water
vapour being by far the most significant GHG. C02 is clearly a
miniscule component of the massive mechanisms that create climate and
cause climate change."
