Jan. 20th, 2011 05:06 pmThe Third Reich was a
flamboyantly green regime.
A best-selling German novel, published in 1958, had a
sub-plot about catastrophic anthropogenic global warming
caused by CO2 emissions. The novelist founded an
international environmental league, led by a former leader
of the Hitler Youth, which was instrumental in launching the
German Green Party.
The modern environmental movement with its mass
organizations, confrontational tactics, media manipulation,
politicized science and apocalyptic propaganda, consolidated
in West Germany in 1959-61 then spread to the
English-speaking world.
Most arguments used by environmentalists today were
articulated by conservationists during the reign of the
Kaisers. Many conservation organizations operating in 1918
continue to operate. The line from 19th century
Nature-protection to modern environmentalism is without gaps
or reversals of direction.
The first “acid rain” scare was in 1864.
