“Ten Environmentalist Myths”

“Modern environmentalism often strays from its original purpose, advancing policies that unintentionally damage ecosystems, strain economies, and benefit powerful corporate interests.” - Stephen Heins - CLIMATE HYSTERIA -  Edward Ring

• The first Earth Day was organized in 1970 in response to growing public concern for the environment. Many of these concerns were entirely justified. 

In 1969, for example, an oil slick along an industrialized stretch of the Cuyahoga River in Ohio caught fire, generating national awareness of the need to reduce water pollution...
We’ve come a long way in 51 years. 
Here are ten issues where environmentalism has been misused, with consequences that have either been of no benefit whatsoever to the environment or have even caused harm.

• We are in a climate crisis

We may as well begin with the most controversial environmentalist claim, that our planet is at imminent risk of catastrophic climate change. The problem with this claim is two-fold. First, there remains vigorous—if suppressed—debate over whether the data actually supports this claim. There is ample evidence that average global temperatures are not rapidly increasing, if they are even increasing at all. There is also strong evidence that extreme weather events are not increasing but rather that our ability to detect them has improved and that population increases have led more people to live in places that are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather...

• There are too many people...

Based on extrapolations back in 1970, this may have appeared to be the case because populations worldwide at that time were rapidly growing. But today, in almost every nation, the inverse is now true: birthrates are well below replacement levels...

• We are running out of “fossil” fuel...
