COTD: Hijacked

clipped from wattsupwiththat.com What we are are seeing here in the global-warming / climate change / thingy meme is several trends converging: + Cultural vertigo: life in developed countries is just so lovely that many people feel somehow guilty about enjoying an unprecedented standard of living. + Lefty trouble-makers: disappointed after the fall of the Berlin Wall and unsure where to go next so they hijack the conservation / nature movement. + Conservation / nature and animal lovers like the old WWF: hijacked by the new religion. I guess the answer is to give the lefties some new cause to jump aboard and help the conservation peeps to get back to what they were good at like saving particular species that really were having a hard time like the natterjack toad etc. I went for a walk in the hills last week with a local “Green” activist and she couldn’t name any of the trees or shrubs or small plants. It really did seem like she had never been this close to nature before.
