There’s kind of a Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle to all this “global warming,” “climate change,” “green planet” stuff. All of the models, all of the tests, all of the data are based on a “natural” state. All the research, every experiment, begins with the data point of no human intervention. In other words, the control is the assumption that the planet is better without humans and then every activity is measured to see what the human impact on this pristine control environment is. Ipso facto, every conclusion will be, human activity bad.

Imagine you have a clear, 3 meter sphere in your lab and you’ve pumped all the air out of it and created a vacuum. That’s your control. That’s your ideal. Then you place a bunch of additional 3 meter spheres in the lab and put various things into them; water, dirt, argon, molasses… Anything you want. Then you give somebody a clip board and ask them to find the sphere that is most like the vacuum. Well, none of them will be identical to the vacuum. I know it sounds absurd, but that is literally what the entire green movement is based on. Ipso facto, it is absurd. Reports like this help lay people understand that.

At the base of all their research and assumptions is the goal of an Earth completely unaffected by human activity. Therefore, the conclusion of all their research is pre-ordained; all human activity is bad.

Now, do the nimrods who wrote this book stop to think about the environmental impact of humans not owning pets? Would there be more rodents in the world? More outbreaks of the plague? Would more blind people walk into traffic and be hit by cars?

As I wrote above, no matter how green you are there will always be someone greener than you. If you sign on to the movement you have to accept that you will not truly be “green” until you remove yourself from the planet, as soon as possible. That is the only possible conclusion of any research they do, because that is the hypothesis they begin with. If that’s a movement you want to be a part of, more power to you, but I’ll put my faith in Doctors, Engineers and Scientists. They’ve been increasing productivity, minimizing waste and extending life for all of human history.
