The Real Climategate: Conservation Groups Align with Worlds Worst Polluters 1 of 3

Major environmental groups are coming under criticism from within their own ranks for taking positions that some say are antithetical to their stated missions of saving the planet. In the latest issue of The Nation magazine, the British journalist Johann Hari writes, As we confront the biggest ecological crisis in human history, many of the green organizations meant to be leading the fight are busy shoveling up hard cash from the worlds worst polluters—and burying science-based environmentalism in returnIn the middle of a swirl of bogus climate scandals trumped up by deniers, here is the real Climategate.

@comicbookstoreguy How much of the science literature have you reviewed to reach this conclusion?

These GW restrictions are to make sure that no poor/middle class person ever again achieves a level of affluence that Al Gore & all the environmental elitist have. With these restrictions will keep everything stagnate with Al and his cronies on top flying their private jets and living the life styles of the rich and famous. The rest of us will have to live in homes of less than 900 square feet, a diet of 1000 calories per day & a 1 child family restriction enforced with Chinese zeal

@Tuathalful The greatest environmental destruction was under the Communist. The Yangtze Gorges Dams in China, Bitterfild in the Former East Germany, The Aral Sea and the Syr Darya Delta in the former USSR make the Ixtoc I oil spill Pale by comparison. When the state owns every thing they take the worst care of it.

@cupera1 OH NOES! REDS UNDER YOUR BED! That's absurd suggestion. If some commie's happen to be environmentalists its because, like other environmentalists, they have taken the longer view and are compassionate towards all other human beings. Not to mention the environmental damage caused by the activities of capitalist parasites draws those opposed to capitalism together.

Hari , Hari maybe it just natural climate change.....relax

This sounds allot like a couple of mob bosses talking over how to milk the cow. When the Belin Wall fell the commies moved into the "Green" movement and are trying to run everybody's life from there.

Another example of how corporatism is corrupt and corrupting.

It's saddening to see DN continuing to pander to climate change advocacy. Falsified science should hold no weight. Perhaps intellectual honesty should not be expected from the far left?

In the Book Affluenza, which originated as a film in 1998, says Al gore didn't question that a growing economy helped the planet in his vice presidential debate. Al gore in 2000 said he will triple the growth of the economy in the presidential campaign. A growing economy helps consumerism. Consumerism creates bad health conditions. Bad health conditions will hurt us but affect the children the most.
