The Green of Green
It has become quite fashionable even ‘woke’ to have a spring lawn inundated with dandelions. This, the environmentally trendy say will strengthen and sustain the bee population. It matters not that dandelions lack the vital nutrients most bees crave and dandelions are quite far from their favored food.
Ignorance of this though is definitely an assumed moral virtue for the lazy lawn keeper.
We should all worship the varying varieties of milk weed. The plant is the lone food of the Monarch butterfly and according to the nature presses, the Monarchs are in absolute danger of extinction. Ah, but not so fast, rather the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) who says they are endangered, further say they are of ‘Least Concern’ in regards to extinction.
There is a clear, explanatory article on this in “WattsUpWithThat” written by environmental journalist Kip Hansen. Naturally, these and other counterfeit items come out regularly and anthropogenic climate change is more often than not assigned as the evil villain
While I can no longer find the relevant data, the fastest growing sector for 501c(3) nonprofit organizations, over the last three decades have been overwhelmingly in the environmental classification Varying articles claim there are between 15,000 and 26,000 such nonprofit establishments in the United States alone.
I would suggest, none of these environmental organizations claim doubt or disbelief in climate change. I would further suggest, because of the massive amount of funding available from governments, non-government organizations (NGO), progressive philanthropic societies, charitable foundations and endowments, every environmental organization would like to somehow tie climate change into their cause.
The top environmental organizations have thousands of employees, with revenues in the hundreds of millions. Many presidents of these organizations are paid much better than their ‘for profit’ business counterparts. This article from CauseIQ may surprise you in regards to the colossal amounts of revenue generated by environmental organizations. It’s dated through 2018, so the funding is now understated.
Furthermore, do not discount the taxpayer funding dispersed by NGOs, as well as funding that is distributed to universities, research firms, scientific organizations and green groups of every type.
When one sees the vast sums of money, employment and the financial magnitude of environmentalism one can clearly see why issues like climate change, whether true or not (and it’s not) will never be peaceably or passively resolved. Truth is now secondary to environmental rapacity.
