The truth about environmental protesters:
- They are almost clueless not only about the issue they are protesting about but on the simplest science.
- They have no real interest in the issue but just move from one to another.
- These events are coordinated by the shadowy figures – as clearly everyone has been told to say the same thing in advance.
- Most are just gullible people being manipulated by highly organised and well funded groups.
- For some reason they only start protesting when foreign government’s interests are being threatened.
- Organisers don’t get involved themselves, instead they hide behind the well-meaning and/or stupid people who attend these events.
- Most of the media are the same gullible idiots who just go along with these “for hire” eco-sharks.
- We’ll never see real investigative reporting like this in Scotland. (Unless it’s paid for by those who fund these organisations).
Scottish Sceptic,
I agree – as long as you restrict what you mean by “Environmental Movement”. I want exclude from that things like the Wildlife Trusts, Woodland Trust, RSPB, Kew Gardens, Nature Conservation, etc. (Badger’s Trust I’m not sure about – they’ve got no predators and there are too many.)
Meanwhile, because reducing co2 is enshrined in law, they all pay lip-service and research with the scenarios given.

Good point. The two should be differentiated. There are quite a few sensible groups. A notable one is the John Muir trust who I would certainly not include in the same basket.
And even most of the people on the demos didn’t have bad intentions. Instead they were just letting themselves be used by extremists and/or commercial groups.
Occasionally I’ve used the term “eco-fascist” which I’m beginning to define as “unsustainable environmentalism” as in environmentalism that so damages society, economy or environment that it cannot be sustained as we can’t afford it, society rebels and obviously destroying the environment when you intend to help it by your ignorance and stupidity is just dumb.
