In his final chapter, Carlson describes the decay of the environmentalist movement, how they've gone from addressing real practical problems anyone can see with his own eyes to apocalyptic obsessions with global warming based on computer models that bear no connection to reality.
Carlson starts off with the famous "Crying Indian" commercial about litter and how that contrasts with the fate of leftist-run cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York, which, in many parts, have descended to third-world levels of filth and disease.
Carlson also mentions how much damage illegal immigrants do to our national parks, which completely fails to jibe with "environmentalist" groups recently becoming heavily in support of illegal immigration.
He describes the stunning hypocrisy of prominent environmentalists like Leonardo di Caprio, Al Gore, and virtually every world leader who attended the meetings for the Paris Climate Accords who routinely use far more resources than the average American, but continually scold the rest of us to be mindful and conserve.
Finally, Carlson looks at the corruption and collapse of scientody in service of this anti-human ideology.
I'm still trying to figure out our next book. The current leader seems to be C.S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength, a choice I am just fine with. I want to wait to make sure everyone has their say.
I'd heard "The Power of the Powerless" referenced some time ago, actually on The Federalist, back when us plebs were allowed to have our say. I've been wanting to read it, but never got around to it. I have a copy, which is about 80 pages. Would you guys like to read through this together quickly? If so, I could say up through section whatever next week, and we could cover that pretty quickly, then on to whichever book we choose next.
