In
his Earth Day article,
Jonathan Adler, author of The
Costs of Kyoto, makes the point that private stewardhsip truly
delivers on environmental protection. And in his,
Patrick Michaels shows how apparently any facts at all will
do to "feel certainty" about global warming. (Also see: "Challenging
the Ecohype")
"The Kyoto Protocol
will result in no demonstrable climate change but easily demonstrable economic
damage."

Why didn't the media use this as a chance to expose the evil philosophy of radical environmentalism?" -- GMU Economics Professor Bryan Caplan |
| No, unfortunately, Ted Kaczynski is only one of many murderous
environmentalists.
He's just not one of the more common type who try to hide their murderous agendas. |
| "...America's news media and largest periodicals don't have it [that tiny grain of knowledge]. They work by the T&P (trust and parrot) method. They may differ in whom to trust and parrot; but they share a common inability to evaluate. They will find two opposing viewpoints and manufacture a 'controversy;' for they think objectivity lies halfway between the truth and a lie (or worse, between two lies)." -- introduction to the Access to Energy Newsletter |
| If it were true that a heavy concentration of industry is destructive
to human life, one would find life expectancy declining in the more advanced
countries. But it has been rising steadily. Here are the figures on life
expectancy in the United States:
1900 - 47.3 years
"Anyone over 30 years of age today, give a silent 'Thank you' to the nearest, grimiest, sootiest smokestacks you can find." -- Ayn Rand, "The Anti-Industrial Revolution," an essay included in the book, Return of the Primitive: the Anti-Industrial Revolution Check out the surprising results of some eye-opening book polls HERE. |

| "Clinton realized that America could not economically afford the Protocol
Gore negotiated. The Clinton-Gore Energy Department found Kyoto would lead
to $400 billion a year in lost output. ... Gore tries to throw Enron on
the back of the current administration. But it was Enron Board Chairman
Kenneth Lay who sold Clinton-Gore on Kyoto's cap and trade system. Gore,
Clinton, and Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin met with Lay on Aug. 7, 1997
to go over goals and procedures for the Kyoto session. ... The corporate
smoking memo here was not that from an ExxonMobil adviser to oppose Dr.
Watson, but the Enron internal memo saying Kyoto 'would do more to promote
Enron's business than almost any other regulatory initiative'." -- Ken
Adelman HERE.
"Being a politician means never having to say you're sorry. You don't have to say, 'I never should have voted to subsidize that ridiculous Enron project in India.' ... After all, they're greedy businessmen and you're a selfless public servant."-- Harry Browne "It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong." -- Thomas Sowell Enron, of course, is exactly the kind of corporation which could not exist in pure capitalism. As a creature, in effect, of politicians, it was deliberately converted from a small pipeline company into an international conglomerate by conniving scoundrels who designed it from the beginning to use the power of their politician-friends to give it government contracts, subsidies, monopoly powers, and favorable regulations to force prospective customers to do business with them, essentially at gunpoint. Obviously, this is fascism, not capitalism. |

I wish that some way could be found to add up all the staggering costs
imposed on millions of ordinary people, just so a relative handful of self-righteous
environmental cultists can go around feeling puffed up with themselves.
