Upgrade to paid I’m old enough to remember when haughty people who call themselves “environmentalists” at least pretended to care about the actual environment. Those were some good times, weren’t they? Share But those times started to fade when the climate alarm movement succeeded in convincing craven and gullible Western policymakers and judges that carbon dioxide, i.e., plant food that forms the very foundation for all life on Planet Earth, simply must be regulated as a “pollutant.” This obsession with using CO2 as the means to pursue a worldwide authoritarian form of socialism quickly led to the death of what reasonable people used to refer to as true environmentalism. As a result, we end up with stories like this one from the Scottish Daily Express: 
“Anger as 17 million trees chopped down in Scotland to clear way for wind farms.”
That’s right: The Scottish government has approved the destruction of more than 17 million trees in this century to make way for their being replaced by Big Wind industrial developments, including more than 1 million in just the past year. Here is an excerpt from that story: The Scottish Government has been blasted after it was revealed that more than one million trees have been chopped down on publicly owned land in just a year to make way for wind farms. This mass cutting down of trees came despite the SNP and Scottish Greens claiming environmental credentials. Communities in rural Scotland have complained about massive turbines blighting their landscapes, with even more planned in areas such as Aberdeenshire and Moray. And now it has been revealed that a SNP quango is getting rid of healthy trees in order to make space for them. According to new statistics, more than one million trees were chopped down on public land, which is the equivalent to 2,700 per day. Critics described this as "appalling" and warned that the rising number of wind farm developments are causing “irreparable damage” to the countryside. [End] This obsession with destroying whatever scenic or arable lands necessary to put up ugly, intermittent, unreliable, and hugely costly developments of dozens of gigantic wind towers with less than a 20% efficiency rate is what has replaced the “environmental” movement in the Western world today. It is one of the saddest and most ruinous social developments in modern times, and it simply must be stopped. That is all. You're currently a free subscriber to Energy Transition Absurdities.
