The founder of the green movement sees the light.
The founder of the green movement sees the light.
I am an environmentalist and founder member of the Greens but I bow my head in shame at the thought that our original good intentions should have been so misunderstood. We never intended a fundamentalist Green movement that rejected all energy sources other than renewable, nor did we expect the Greens to cast aside our priceless ecological heritage because of their failure to understand that the needs of the Earth are not separable from human needs. … Although well-intentioned it is an erosion of our freedom and draws near to what I see as fascism.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Ah, sanity, where have you been?
Some more sanity, go to youtube and find Dr. Ben Carson’s 2013 Prayer Breakfast speech in
Washington where he speaks truth to power, and power is sitting 6 feet away from him glaring at
every words that issues forth from his mouth.
This is a must see video.
The emperor has been sighted without clothes. I commend this man for his courage. Environmentalists at heart are good people, who mean well, but have become lost in their zeal. Who isn’t for clean air and water, safe food and products?
Have they put a hit out on this guy yet? They might literally wish violence on him but they will certainly try and destroy him professionally and in the realm of public opinion.
“Although well-intentioned it is an erosion of our freedom and draws near to what I see as fascism.”
Too little, too late.
I guess this guy can forget doing any more interviews on TV except maybe FOX.
Ah, James Lovelock. Lets see about this guy you’re now touting as a spokesman on the climate:
1. Believes that the earth is a living being (Gaia theory).
2. Once said “before this century is over, billions of us will die and the few breeding pairs of people that survive will be in the Arctic where the climate remains tolerable.”
3. And now says, in order to temper his once extreme prediction, he still believes that man is causing the planet to warm but just not as sharply as he predicted it would.
This is the guy you all agree with? Just curious.
I might not agree with all this guys views.
But I do agree that the Earth is in effect a living organism.
But it is good to see that at least a few of the ‘Greens’ can evolve and see that some of their assumptions were wrong.
It even better that at least some also believe that the real fanatics of the green movement could be verging on fascism with their intended outcome.
He at least seems like someone I could go and have a drink with and debate ideas.
I want someone to ask the president.
At what temperature will you set the earths thermostat when you are able?
52f to save energy.
His next space project to propose will be a HUGE sun shade to help the Earth stay cool.
Listen to this idiot. And I don’t mean the good Science Guy.

Thats what she thinks, its the conclusion she comes to when she applies her acquired
knowledge to the “problem”.
People “know” what it is they hear in the media and the media is about agenda, not about
science or the proper interpretation of facts.
What they hear in the media is their knowledge.
Be afraid, be very afraid because this is what your politicians depend on to lead your country.
She asks her question and he does not even blink an eye, he just continues on.
I would have had to at least smirk at the minimum and at the maximum I might have changed the
the subject of the interview and focus on how she arrived at her question.
It would probably be the last time I was on that station, but it would have been worth while.
Meanwhile, the Arctic continues to deteriorate. A new study just released (published in Geophysical Research Letters) says that ice loss is even greater than models had predicted. One of the co-authors, Axel Schweiger, said this:
“Other people had argued that 75 to 80 percent ice volume loss was too aggressive. What this new paper shows is that our ice loss estimates may have been too conservative, and that the recent decline is possibly more rapid.”

Ice sheet size reduction is now supported even more dramatically by sea ice volume reduction. Arctic sea ice volume has declined by 36 per cent in the autumn and 9 per cent in the winter between 2003 and 2012,. Total sea ice is one-fifth of the volume in 1980. And no, I can’t show you directly how the CO2 from your car caused this.
