Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

March 1, 2011

There is a deeply morbid strain of misanthropy running through the environmentalist movement.

Last October, the ?10:10 Campaign,? a British eco-radical group, unveiled an allegedly hilarious public service advertisement promoting a campaign to hector people into reducing their individual ?carbon footprint? as a way of fighting the mythical problem of global warming.

People are shown in various settings ? the classroom, the workplace, a soccer field ? in which the campaign is announced, and people are asked to participate. Holdouts are asked to identify themselves after being assured that "no pressure" would be used against them. At this point, a large red button is pushed, and the eco-heretics explode in a gusher of crimson viscera.

It?s hard not to think of that advertisement when reading a National Geographic report describing how, according to NASA, a ?small? nuclear war, although devastating, would reverse global warming.

The Book of Isaiah teaches that the world was made to be inhabited. The environmentalist religion teaches that humanity is a mistake of evolution.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
