GMANews.TV - Greenpeace twits DENR, DOE chiefs on eve of Earth Day

MANILA, Philippines - On the eve of Earth Day, environmental group Greenpeace challenged government agencies to stop the use of coal for energy, and to support renewable energy instead.

The volunteers held an "Earth Day Barbecue" at the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) compound in Quezon City to call attention to such a "distorted" policy.

At the barbecue, activists "roasted" a balloon replica of Planet Earth over charcoal, which is safer than the coal used in power plants.

This was meant to illustrate how the relentless pursuit of coal-fired power plants is cooking the planet.

And so I get back to my observation. More and more, I see the Celebrate Earth movement move into pantheism. It’s Gaia-worship by a different name. And it is pervasive. It’s all about “Saving the Earth,” and it’s not abouot people. I say that confidently, because of the irrational arguments that reducing population will save the earth. This implies that people are the problem, not the target worth saving. If not people, then what is worth saving? The earth, of course.

Global Warming alarmism is just the first step in bringing about a form of modern day Earth-Worship. The alarmism effectively targets the human psyche with fear of the consequences from a human perspective. Hurricanes, floods, droughts… yeah, they all really suck. When it becomes evident that this won’t happen immediately, then we move on to our children. We want the good old days of cold and snowy winters for our kids. Because we love them.

Pretty soon, we move away from using “Global Warming” because we’ve now successfully got people scared enough about something, that we can just tweak things a bit and fairly easily keep the insanity alive. “Climate Change” is a good catch-all to cover all potential future events. High-five to the Environmental fear-mongering PR Department. Elect politicians, get a few scientists on board, get the media on board, and come up with a few seemingly benign phrases like “Green” and pretty soon we’ve shifted the entire psychology of the movement. Hammer away, hammer away, and hammer away. It’s good to be green...
