Since I posted this butterfly yesterday, I've been cogitating on my life as a conservationist over the past 27, or so, years, and how different I feel today about the meanings of the words "conservationist" as opposed "environmentalist." I also want to comment on how Al Gore is the inevitable outgrowth of the environmental movement. Like him or not, he's doing his job: He's a hell, fire and brimstone preacher/prophet of a new (false) post-modern religion.
I still much prefer being called a conservationist, though today I'm even cooling to that movement somewhat as it too moves more to the left.

Rare butterfly sighted in Falcon State Park in southern Texas after 70 years. It's a rare telea hairstreak. Good news for the environmental doomsdayers?
Meanwhile, one naysayer takes on Al and his theory of man-made global warming.
Baffling. Absolutely ming-stringing.The glaciers are melting. The ice floes are melting. Walruses are going on the endangered list. The rivers in Montana and Wyoming are too hot to fish. And you call global warming the new post-modern religion, which in itself sounds kind of spooky. Some phrase obviously invented by Dick Cheney who probaly wants to stock western trout streams with crappie.Don't even try to call yourself a conservationist. Maybe you'll be convinced of the error of your ways when a few years down the road you cast a wooly bugger in the Buffalo and catch a catfish.

ReplyDeleteYou'd do anything to take a swing at Dick Cheney, wouldn't you now?
I will explain soon my thesis....come back tomorrow. Meanwhile, I'm not saying we're not in a warming trend---though the jury is still out there too---however, I do not buy into the theory that it's big-time man made.
More later, alligator.
Dr. Gray, 78-year-old hurricane forecaster from Fort Collins, says the warming stopped in 1999; now get ready for the cooling! He says the reason so many scientists do not speak out is because they are so dependent on government grants, and the government has accepted global warmaing as a fact. Your observations about Gore are spot on!
