F-bombs for the environment?
“I want to be in a world with more wild salmon every year,” [Derrick Jensen] insisted. “I want to be in a world with less dioxin in mother’s milk, and more amphibians. I don’t want to live in a world being murdered. … The industrial economy needs to be stopped.”
Peter Foster: Climatism is more than a belief system - FP Comment
Sustainable Development, which sprung fully-armed from the fretful socialist head of the UN’s Brundtland Commission, is indeed a religion, and it has a devil: capitalism. It thus seems suicidal for any company to accommodate it, let alone embrace it. It has no workable definition except for the feel good notion of “looking after the future.” It explicitly rejects free markets as leading to resource exhaustion and environmental destruction. As such it is not based on science, much less economics, but on primitive pre-market assumptions, which just happen to be very useful to prospective “global governors.”
