You know, I'm really getting tired of econut doom and gloom predictions

When are these Cassandras going to give it up? None of their dire predictions have come true. Not a single one!

The polar ice caps were supposed to be completely gone by, wait for it, this is gonna be good, four months from now.

Let's go to the satellite imagery!

Wow, those are some pretty big polar ice caps we've got. Gonna take an act of Gaia to wipe 'em out by Labor Day. OK, Halloween, for sure. It's science, direct from NASA.

The science is full of the joys of spring.

So pardon me if I don't get excited about the latest pronouncement from Al Gore's chicken little friends.

Humans will need two Earths to support our lifestyles by 2030 because we are draining the world's resources so quickly, a new report has warned.

Two Earths! Do we get the second one from Amazon.com? What can we do if it's out of stock?

Die.

That's what we have to do. We all must die. To save the Earth.

Well actually, almost all of us. The enlightened elite, the Gaia-worshipping ecowarriors, they've been chosen to remain alive. They know what's best. And it ain't the good old U S of A.

"The United States symbolises the worst ideologies in the world: growth and freedom."

There's the impetus behind the modern environmental movement. They'll say it's about polar bears and redwoods; it's not. It's about control. With eco-fascists running the show, forcing humanity to live like savages while they jet off to Kyoto to opine from on high about how cow farts are killing the delta smelt.

And frankly I'm sick of it. I'm sick of Al Gore and Michael Mann and James Hansen and all the doomsayers. Hire some friggin' engineers already. Put 'em to work. We can fix anything if we put our minds to it.

You say carbon dioxide is like cyanide to Mother Gaia? Design a machine that eats carbon dioxide. Oh, wait. God already did that; it's called a tree.

Johnny Appleseed, please call your office.

Every time I hear the name Rachel Carson I want to vomit. She is directly responsible for more than one million dead African children each year. The environmentalists call that "a good start." I call it genocide.

Bring back DDT. Unless you don't like children?

See what I mean? Every time humanity brushes up against the environmental movement it's up to humanity to step back. In their book worms get more respect than people. Weeds too. They love weeds. Maybe that's really why the liberals made it so hard for us to buy antihistamines; they're hoping we'll all die from allergies.

Here's the thing. We've done our part. The bad stuff we used to dump willy-nilly? We don't do that anymore. The air is clean, the water is pure. And both are getting better, every year.

The econuts are quibbling over parts per billion of obscure chemicals and pretending they pose the same danger as raw sewage pumped into bottles of Poland Spring water. Because it's all they've got.

If they weren't on a power trip they'd quit while they were ahead. But saving the planet isn't as much fun as controlling our lives.
