Which "enviros" are you talking about?
The ones he sees all around him when he closes his eyes.
Hey, it's at least as good a pejorative term as "neocons" g.
The "enviros" as you call them, at least mean well, unlike neocons, who are
malevolent.
Funny distinction. One of the main problem with the environmental
movement is that it places human interest way to low and plant and
animal interest way to high. This is anti-human and therefore malevolent.

Who writes this material for you? The environmentalists (I qualify, but I'm not
a member of any "movement" that I'm aware of) I know all stress how important it
is to stop screwing up the planet for the benefit of all living creatures. What
they don't believe in is raping the planet recklessly to satisfy greed. Without
all those plants and animals, we ourselves end up in danger. It's all tightly
connected.
Just pretend for a moment that it's not so tightly connected.

Pretending would be the only option for that.

For
example, imagine that humans can invent solutions to problems and that
if something gets screwed up in the environment, humans can probably
create a way to fix it.

More pretending. There are countless things, minor and major, that humans have
been unable to solve.

The point is not what we have been unable to solve so far, it's what we
have been able to solve. For example do you know how much more food per
resources humans are able to produce now than a hundred years ago? In
the blink of an eye, earth history wise, we have solved a massive
resource problem, the exact sort of solution that negates all the
massive fear mongering of the lefty greens. What? We're not running out
of resources?? We have virtually infinite capacity _create_ resources?????

Not only that, we're still getting better at creating solutions! Yet for
some reason the lefty greens assume not one more solution of this sort
will be solved and we are soon to run out of resources. As if there can
not be any good solutions to produce cleaner energy, or any possible
ways to clean up whatever we want to clean up, etc, etc.

Now look at how the environmental movement is working to prevent energy
development in third world countries like Africa and what this does to
negatively impact human beings there.

Please put the goal posts back in their original position.

Can you imagine the entirely unnecessary harm being done to humans?

???

Please read again what you ignored just above and explain how denying
energy technology to third world countries due to environmental concerns
is not malevolent. Remember, that is my original and main point, my
reason for entering this thread. You know, the point you have been
trying to divert from?
