Environmentalism has replaced socialism as the leading secular religion. And the ethics of environmentalism are fundamentally sound. Scientists and economists can agree with Buddhist monks and Christian activists that ruthless destruction of natural habitats is evil and careful preservation of birds and butterflies is good.
The worldwide community of environmentalists — most of whom are not scientists — holds the moral high ground, and is guiding human societies toward a hopeful future. Environmentalism, as a religion of hope and respect for nature, is here to stay.
We have to be cautious of Environmentalism as a religion vs. a science… The Environmental Puritan movement is anti-American to the core. You can’t follow their advice while being president of the United States — we don’t need an anti-American president.
