The politics of climate change

"The urge to save humanity 
is almost always a false front 
for the urge to rule."          
H. L. Mencken 


"The urge to save humanity 
from harmless carbon dioxide 
is a 'progressive' false front 
for their urge to rule".
  The Honest Global Warming Chart Blog



“The goal now 
is a socialist, 
redistributionist 
society, 
which is nature’s 
proper steward and 
society’s only hope.”
          David Brower,
  founder of Friends of the Earth



“If we don’t 
overthrow capitalism, 
we don’t have a chance of
saving the world ecologically.
I think it is possible to have
an ecologically sound

society under socialism.
I don’t think it is possible 
under capitalism”
                         Judi Bari,
          principal organizer of Earth First !



“Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the
industrialized civilizations collapse?
Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”

                     Maurice Strong,
 founder of the UN Environment Program



“A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the United States. De-development means bringing our economic system into line with the realities of ecology and the world resource situation.”
                          Paul Ehrlich,
               Professor of Population Studies
