Doesn't this headline really just say it all?

An interesting article on the inner turmoil the Sierra Club is going through.

Looks like some extreme environmental movements are having to confront the consequences of their actions. Maybe they will be forced to abandon their "people aren't important" attitude. I hope so.

What do you think of this? Code of the West: City slickers, you have been warned!

Letting science rather than emotion make the decisions? What a radical idea!

Do you want some hard science on global warming? Here is the place to get it.

Another land grab by the environmentalists? Would you believe the Grand Canyon?

This one bears paying attention to. From the LA Times no less.

Looks to me like some institutions of higher learning have decided to forgo academic independence and turn to outright advocacy. I fail to see why we need to understand environmental radicals any more than knowing that they don't value human life. Well, Cal State Fresno feels different, they are sponsoring a conference...... well, take a look for yourself.

Hmmm.... Does this mean they condone terrorism? What do you think?

Do you think that Portland has the right idea about how it should grow? Its system has been called Smart Growth, here's an article that should make people think twice about this so called "smart growth." It turns out that in their zeal to protect anything living (except people) the environmental movement is hurting the people who need help the most. Read on

Another favorite of smart growth enthusiasts is light rail, here's some enlightenment on that.
Is monorail the answer?

Are environmentalists altrusitic? I don't think so, I think that what they really want is power and the environment is just their vehicle. So, with that in mind, they will attack anything that anybody who is deemed an enemy of the environment does, as this example shows.

Happy New Year! Apparently PETA doesn't like the word happy. Well, at least not when its
connected to cows. Hope you and yours are happy!

I grew up in the Army and I used to think the Army Corps of Engineers was a cool name for a cool organization. (I don't really know if the the Corps is actually affiliated with the Army, do you?) Anyway, then I grew up and heard of stories like this one involving a Habitat for Humanity project in Florida.

I didn't see the opinion that this letter is in response to, but I sure do like what the writer has to say about forests.

What does sustainable development mean to you? Henry Lamb of EcoLogic has an opinion worth reading.

The Humane Society is pretty mainstream, right? Are you sure?

Yet another article on my favorite topic, eco-terrorism! I think they are a real menace and we need to support the FBI in its efforts to track these nut cases down and stop them before somebody gets hurt or killed.

Greens want a new State Lands Commissioner. I went to college with the current land commissioner, Mike Anable. He is a good man and I consider him a friend. Do what you can to show support for him.

One of the complaints from environmentalists that I hear a lot is that we are developing over all of the wilderness areas. How about this fact.... 46% of land on Earth is undeveloped. So let's see, in 2 million years humans have developed just over half of the usable land. Doesn't seem to me that we will be running out any time soon.

To both of my faithful readers! (hehe) Sick children will keep me from posting for the next couple of days. Stay tuned....

An environmentalist complaining about other environmentalists? The author of
this article from the Denver Post has a wonderful point about the environmentalists who are trying to get rid of ranching.
