When Greenies Attack

It’s totally bogus to condemn a man for raising awareness about any issue, ANY ISSUE while making money in the United States. It is virtually IMPOSSIBLE not to take a capitalist approach to even philanthropy in the USA, unless you want to ensure the complete failure of your campaign. Fiscal generativity is a requirement if you don’t want your campaign to lose steam. You need not look further than the elections, which have consistently been won by the candidate who raised the most money (ie: having the largest share of the richest people and corporations on their side). The only voices that have any reach in the United States are voices that have the backing of billions of dollars for ad space and time. There have always been millions of voiceless Americans who have tried to raise awareness about global warming for years now, and the only people able to successfully pull it off in the United States of No Public Space are those that can, at the very least, start an ad campaign or (why not?) make a cheesy, self-aggrandizing film about it. I personally hated the movie but it has been a factor in completely changing the nature of the mainstream discourse around global warming, especially among Republicans. This probably won’t matter to you, but it’s a relief to me that America has finally joined the rest of the post-industrial world to finally wake up to the issue.

Arsalan,

The rest of the world? Really? You did see the Kyoto conference this year where the signers were complaining that they could not meet the insane and idiotic requirements of the accords, while China keeps sending up clouds of pollution, and would ruin their economies if they tried?

“Man made global warming” is a fleecing scam just as the “man made new ice age” was 30 years ago. Same actors, same garbage science, same dire predictions and nothing but these “environmentalists” getting rich of their scams to show for it.
