Resisting The Green Dragon
The Christian Post is reporting that conservative policy experts and religious leaders have collaborated to condemn the radical environmentalism movement in a 12-part video series.
The series, is to be called “Resisting the Green Dragon,” it features criticisms of the green movement which religious leaders contend is a false religion that puts nature above people.
“Environmentalists have a long history of believing and promoting exaggerations and myths,” says Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission in the video.
One such myth speakers cite in the video is the notion that humans are causing global warming. According to The Cornwall Alliance founder Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, environmentalists are using this belief to advocate increased population control as a means of saving the earth.
“Most environmentalists want to greatly reduce the human population, which is why the green movement and population control and reduction movements have gone hand in hand,” says Beisner in the promotional video.
The Cornwall Alliance produced the series. The alliance is a scientific and religious coalition advocating a stewardship view of environmentalism based on God’s Genesis command to tend to the garden.

Great piece Holte. This is much like the trying to explain to the chicken to either cross the road or stay on the other side but in either case; get out of the damn road before you get run over. I do not know if it is pure ignorance, stupidity, or just that some people want to have power over others so bad they will just make crap up and convince gullible people that it is true. They are like Glenn Beck. You really don’t whether to take them seriously or not.

Great catch Holte. This crowd has been banging its’ drum against sustainability and environmentalism for some time. They are particularly nasty with ignorance regarding the Gulf of Mx. It’s damaging to the absolute need for healing the planet. Good post!
Thanks Gwen, we have got to watch these little buggers 24/7.
Fortunately, the World Council of Churches (WCC) does not support the idiocy of the Cornwall Alliance. The WCC reports that they’ve been working on Global Climate Change issues since the early 1990s, and support this position:
“In the ecumenical understanding, human-induced climate change is being precipitated primarily by the high consumption lifestyles of the richer industrialized nations and wealthy elites throughout the world while the consequences will be experienced disproportionately by impoverished nations, low-lying island states, and future generations. Climate change is thus a matter of international and inter-generational justice.”

It’s such a shame that the wack jobs get all the publicity and leave concerned believers on the sidelines. I suppose the answer is that concerned believers have to shout them down along with the rest of us.
One does not have to be a scientist to realize that there are too many people on the planet.
Consider the record of population growth. It took from the beginning of human existence (whenever you think that was) to the year 1800 for the population to reach 1 billion people. Then after only 130 years, in 1930, there were 2 billion people. The 3 billion mark was reached by 1960 (only 30 years), then the 4 billion milestone was passed around 1975 (15 years later). The population passed 5 billion in the 1980s and the population exceeded 6 billion in 1999.
This is exponential growth.
I suppose out of that 6 billion there is sure to be a collection of idiots, some of them highlighted in the above post. The Cornwall Alliance are a pack of real beauties.
I hate to break this to you, but it has been proven that environmentalism is bunk. Rush Limbaugh proved it to his conservative followers. His slurred voice was all the proof they needed. What scientist is held in greater esteem than Rush?
I try to find his show on my radio but my hand goes all shaky. Think my nervous system is trying to tell me something.
