What a wonderful way of illustrating how much you hate environmentalism: by using Penn & Teller comedy routines that break Al Gore's ballz to support your own claims that the media are sensationalizing the issue of climate change (true or not) and that the concept of environmentalism is really just a veiled attempt to push through a liberal, anti-globalism/anti-corporation agenda.
Obviously, Noel Sheppard (associate editor, Newsbusters.org) has never been on a hike, smelled a flower or gone swimming in a glacial lake. If he had done any of these (or communed with nature in any other way), his position on environmentalism would seem as silly as it is. Worthy of snickers and giggles, not ink on a blog (such that it is). While environmentalism may complement socialist ideals well, and in fact there may be many people out there doing just what he accuses us all of doing, the fact remains that our lifestyle choices and excessive consumption of all things consumable are having a deleterious affect on the earth (to say the least).
Diversity of plant/animal species and the longevity of our own species (that means humans, Noel!) are important issues, and it's ridiculous to think that environmentalist only care about these things as they relate to liberal idealogical domination. Only someone whose interests lie only as far as the material world of business and commerce are concerned would see the world through such distorted lenses.
