    As i remind people yearly: Earth Day is Lenin's birthday! Need we know more? The whole environmentalism as a religion is exactly what the UN is counting on. Transition people from Christianity to Gaia worship (the temple to Gaia is in the UN building), then eventually to one world government worship. End of religion, but the world leaders will be the new Gods. That's what it is and always has been for the last couple decades. True environmentalist do not let the forest floor fall into a tinder box which will destroy the forest and animals in it. But environmental worshipers do.None of it is about the environment, it is about power. Look at the brainwashed blank expressions on those children, like the Stepford children.

    The difference is between "environmentalist" and "environmentalism." The first is supposed to be a scientist, relying on supportable facts and peer-reviewed research to study the environment and determine how to act in a way that sustains or improves it, while the second has become an ideology that demands an absolutist view of humans as the danger to a healthy planet.

    Good point. Margaret Sanger, founder of the modern abortionist movement, worshiped like a saint by the Planned Parenthood crowd was racist to the core, and a supporter of eugenics. She founded the movement to reduce the population of the "inferior races," and supported the idea of euthanasia of "mental defectives." One of her biggest fans was Adolf Hitler.

    If you peel back the veil on most of these "social justice" style movements you will uncover a higher than average level of mental derangement and ignorance and yes, simplistic "brain-washing"!.

    The human mind is a terrible thing (sometimes) and stupid is as stupid does!

    At the beginning he defines environmentalism has having leaders, unquestioned beliefs, an original sin / salvation narrative, etc.

    He rejects that and explains his ideas:
    “We're not doing a great job [with the environment]… It's been a disaster what we've done. So, when I look at how we treat the environment, I think we have to be flexible. I think we have try things and see how they turn out. We have to be ready to change course. We have to be able to adapt. We have to say we're wrong, and let's do it right. We have to do research… We need a scientific approach. We need a non-religoius approach. We need a way to look at this and do better than we've done, a lot better. It's essential for you guys and your children.”

    His ideas seem more "environmentalist" than the religious creed strawman he describes at the beginning. It seems like this is question of definition.

    That is absolutely true! This is what is being pushed in the public schools and has been since the early 70's!

    This also fits Gorbechev's statement that says in essence: "In order to establish a world government, there will need to be established a world religion "Environmentalism/Gaia", a world economic system "European style Market Socialism" and a world form of government "United Nations - Federalism". All three are being put into place to the detriment of freedom.

    His "anthropological" usage of the word religion is so weak that it does not add much to any discussion. If you listen to his answer in the first half, he could classify almost anything as a religion, including the pro-freedom movement.
    He is a smart guy with words, and it seems like he is aiming to dismiss them by calling them a religion. That has to infuriate anyone with genuine religious beliefs.

    That's another thing about them: they're hypocrites. They reserve to themselves the privilege of comfortable living, that they would deny to us.

    "Earth Day". Founded by a psycho murderer on April 22, 1970 when he was a student. Later went on to kill his girlfriend and stuff her body into a trunk and put it in a closet in his apartment. Typical of the type who is most "religious" about the environment. Will do anything to stop the "planet abuse" except stop driving their ginormous SUVs and flying in Jumbo jets. All in all, an ignorant bunch of useful idiots.

    Some other elements of religion in Earth worship: human sacrifice. After manufacturing phony evidence of the danger of DDT and getting this highly effective, safe insecticide banned, the result has been over a million deaths annually from malaria. Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and Mao are pikers compared to the African genocide inflicted by Rachel Carson.

    Yes, it is. It involves worship of the earth. Rand discussed it also: it regards man as sub-natural.

    Yes it does, which is interesting because he normally aligned himself with the anti-free market, regressive crowd.

    Michael Crichton's State of Fear eloquently debunks the environmentalism myth. What is surprising is that he went into the writing of that book thinking that he was going to prove the case for environmentalism. Then he did his research and found that A = A.
