Melanie Reid:
My real problem with the eco-alarmists is the pleasure they take in
austerity; their evident desire to strip away pleasure. They dislike
colour, excess and fun. They really do want to see us imprisoned in a
narrow, grey, scratchy world of recycled car tyres and hemp lingerie
(and no, I didn't make that up).
Hence their gleefulness in the economic downturn, because it will mean
that people are poorer, and will be forced to do things their way.
Slowly but surely, the roundheads will take over the Earth. In their
ideal world we will not travel, except by bus; we will read gloomy books
like A Short History of the Future (on recycled paper); and luxury will
consist of a wind-up MP3 player.
Jeremy Clarkson has had enough of the eco-alarmists in their Body Shop
hair****rts, too:
A sinister government agency called Wrap (We Rape and Pillage) has spent
vast lumps of our money to determine that, in Britain alone, we throw
away 5.1m potatoes every day. Apparently this is so morally
reprehensible that we should all commit suicide.
Hmm. So we have one part of the government telling us that if we
continue to eat too much we will become fat and everyone will explode.
And now we have another part telling us that we have to finish
everything on our plates because it's wrong to throw food away.
Is it though?
Love his argument.

".it should not be surprising to see hordes of former Reds, or of those
who otherwise would have become Reds, turning from Marxism and becoming
the Greens of the ecology movement. It is the same fundamental
philosophy in a different guise, ready as ever to wage war on the
freedom and well-being of the individual." Dr. George Reisman's book
