Outside the Ivory Tower: Global Warming, Environmental Extremism & God



Many environmental extremists are hysterical about global warming to the point of calling insane those opposed to their dogma. They blame industrialization’s greenhouse gases for an allegedly warmer earth.

Their reasoning appears to be some sort of collective secular guilt for which they propose mass suffering by destroying our present way of life. But in reality the very environmental extremism policies they have implemented are a significantly larger contributor to greenhouse gases than industrialization.

Desertification, the process by which grasslands become deserts, reduces potential food supply and increases greenhouse gases more than industrialization. Grasslands, in the US, were normally full of buffalos and other herd animals. When they traveled through, even if there was little too eat, they fertilized as they walked and more importantly they trammeled the ground. Without the soil breaking under their hoofs the soil cannot retain moisture from the rainy season and bakes hard in the summer.

The next rainy season the water runs off the hardened soil and a desert begins. Prior to environmental extremism the wild animals were replaced with sheep and cattle herds grazing our Western “public lands”. The land was healthy, as Range Magazine has repeatedly shown, but environmental “science” said that the sheep and cattle were destroying the land.

Biologist Allan Savory was responsible for killing 40,000 African elephants to save the land before he realized that he was actually creating the deserts he was trying to prevent. Science often makes the presumption that they know better than what has been natural for countless millennia. To my mind this is humans thinking they are God. In this very scientific National Geographic video, Allan Savory makes a public confession. I found it straight forward and haunting.

  1. Having read the many blogs posted by Mark Bennett, I can say that he writes clearly with well researched data and a refreshing point of view that lets the liberal extremist know they have met their Waterloo. Keep writing, Mark, the media and your followers demand it.
