Ten Environmentalist Myths
Modern environmentalism often strays from its original purpose, advancing policies that ~~un~~intentionally damage ecosystems, strain economies, and benefit powerful corporate interests.
<snip>
Here are ten issues where environmentalism has been misused, with consequences that have either been of no benefit whatsoever to the environment or have even caused harm.
(1) We are in a climate crisis
We may as well begin with the most controversial environmentalist claim, that our planet is at imminent risk of catastrophic climate change. The problem with this claim is two-fold. First, there remains vigorous—if suppressed—debate over whether the data actually supports this claim. There is ample evidence that average global temperatures are not rapidly increasing, if they are even increasing at all.

(2) There are too many people
But today, in almost every nation, the inverse is now true: birthrates are well below replacement levels. Humanity faces a future of too few people, not too many. [edited for brevity]
(3) We are running out of “fossil” fuel
In the U.S. and around the world, new technologies and new discoveries have put total reserves of oil, along with natural gas and coal, at record highs despite increasing demand. [edited]
(4) Biofuel is renewable and sustainable
Nothing could be further from the truth. Biofuel will never supply more than a small fraction of our energy requirements, and attempts to scale it beyond a niche product have produced catastrophic results. Just to use California as an example, …

(5) Offshore wind energy is renewable and sustainable
Absolutely not. [lots of good reasons listed with CA again used as areasy why it's a terrible idea]
(6) Renewables are renewable
No. They’re not. Renewables most in favor with environmentalists are solar and wind farms with battery farms to store the intermittently generated electricity. Just the consumption of natural resources to build these renewables is hardly sustainable.

[lots more - four to be exact]
The ideals of environmentalism ought to inspire everyone, but the policies promulgated in the name of environmentalism are all too often actually hurting the environment.

The ten myths identified above are some of the fundamental premises of environmentalism, and they are flawed. They are exploited by special interests for profit and control.
