I’ve just been watching and enjoying the latest YouTube video of one   
of my heroes Paul mc keever on environmentalism and in particular the   
psychology of it.In short, environmentalism can be seen as the ‘new’ altruism or socialism. (As a matter of fact green usually stands for left wing orientation).

For anyone who took the time to read Karl Marx and did not notice the   
hate and envy behind his obsessive talk of the bourgeois class and   
industrialists, read it again and notice it.

Green has this same envy behind it. Is it a mere coincidence that their main target too is big industry with big capital? I don’t think so. 

Sure, I like clean air and water. Sure I like forests. But who likes   
the opposite? That’s is not the issue.
But is that really what green is after? Or to return to the above   
analogy: was mister Marx really after the well-fare of the   
prolatariat or just against the ‘power’ of industry? Or worse: was he after power over the productive minds? Well history proved that answer. 

“Compared to nature man is small and incompetent to cope”. Oh is men   
really small and incompetent? Sure all the technology which permits   
you to read these lines did not grow on trees? If you read this you   
might think of the fact that you have had some kind of fever once in   
your life. A fever that could have killed you already if you were   
living 300 years ago? Medical knowledge did not just arrive with the   
wind without any thoughts required to achieve it.

Let people who say we are small and that courage, happiness and capacity are random gifts of nature-not to be proud about-start over again in their saved forests without any commodity invented by the human mind through history. 

Let me enjoy the great books, advanced medical care, theatre, an opera   
by Mozart, food from far away countries, and much more. Don’t you   
worry I don’t take away your happiness or well being to do that.

Besides I can’t steal what you did not produce in the first place! After all happiness is a product of effort too.
