Green is the new Black

1 August 2008

You know what really grinds my gears?  Being ‘green’.  ‘Environmentalists’ cloud their hatred for globalization in being green.  Most global warming ‘facts’ are ill-researched and when pressed on the issue, these people will turn to emotional responses, not ones laid in truth or even science.

What I’ve noticed is how little research these environmentalist actually do into anything they are saying.  One of the popular ‘facts’ I’ve heard is that the east coast will be flooded and will disappear because the oceans will have grown.  Another ‘fact’ is how were losing hundreds of species everyday and we’ll lose 50% of animals by 2050.

All of these ‘facts’ were produced (read created) by computer-generated models.  Not history, not facts.  Computer models that can be manipulated to show ‘worst-case scenerios’ and not reality.  But despite these non-truths, people still spout them because it sounds alarmist and gets people fired up.

People like me, who don’t think the world is going to end, are taking advantage of these gullible people by selling products that are more expensive because being ‘green’ is more expensive.  Of course, no one on the environmental camp has complained about this.  Why is that?  Do they even do research on whether these products are actually ‘green’?

I’m convinced that you could sell polished poo to these people and call it ‘green fudge’ and they’d by it by the masses.
