Thank you Mario Goveia, for that excellent link! ( http://www.lvrj.com/opinion/climate-folly-79787117.html) Environmentalists have always wanted to hijack the world with their seriously flawed ideology. In artfully packaging environmentalism to seem like any major world religion, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams of destroying the world's economy. Mario responds: Rumba Pete? Is this a another nickname specially approved by the powers that be in violation of the Goanet Rules? With all due respect, Rumba Pete, I am one of those who feels queasy when I don't know the identity of a poster in a public forum such as Goanet. I have let the moderators and others who use nicknames like Xanno Moidekar or JoeGoaUK know what I think, so I must let you know as well. When the referees start making selective and capricious exceptions to the rules, where does it stop? This is nothing personal and neither is it a reflection on what the individuals have written. For example, I have found little or nothing to take issue with in Xanno's or Joe's posts, or with this post of yours either, where you have actually agreed with me. My personal request is for all those who are using nicknames to come out into the sunlight, so that the rest of us are not, in effect, talking to some anonymous person behind a curtain. Now back to your comments. I have long believed that the environmental extremists are quite different from rational environmentalists who want us to be good stewards of the environment for the benefit of our general health and quality of life and the benefit of our future generations. Thus I support emissions that are filtered of particulates and toxic gases that would endanger our health, re-forestation when trees need to be cut down, sensible urban planning so as not to destroy water tables, normal flows of rainwater, streams, etc., sensible urban planning which does not let inappropriate construction and garish signs and billboards to destroy the ambience of roads and highways and historic buildings, rehabilitation of open pit mines through landscaping and re-planting after the ore has been depleted, and so on. Virtually all the environmental extremists today used to be extreme socialists until the world began to realize that extreme socialism made no sense. Now they want to try through the back door of environmentalism what they failed to achieve through socialism, a sort of world-government not accountable to anyone to redistribute wealth from the producers of wealth to those who squander their wealth and resources, while benefitting themselves, the controlling elite, whose only skill is the achievement of political power. The new President of the EU recently let the cat out of the bag: http://creatingorwellianworld-view-alaphiah.blogspot.com/2009/11/new-european-union-president-proclaims.html This report even has a video so you can hear him in his own words. The good news is that they have not succeeded yet in destroying the world economy, even as they have acquired a powerful ally in the new US President, Barack Hussein Obama. Their over-reaching and overconfidence has resulted in a backlash that will inhibit if not defeat their plans. In the US this is manifesting itself in a continuing decline in the president's approval ratings as more and more people begin to realize where his policies are leading to: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll
