Yeah, the “Mother Earth” effect. Anthropogenic is what the lefties want to label Earth. The Earth is not “alive”. They want everyone to believe, “because we are here that proves we should not be here.”
There are those on the left who are motivated by concern and worry about the environment, but there are also clearly those who care primarily - if not only - about using this issue as a tool to advance their agenda and personal power. The political right and center have done, IMHO, a horrible job in dealing with the politics of this issue (the environment).
What we should be pointing out is that the biggest environmental disasters, or most rapid environmental degradation that has occurred to date have occurred under socialist/communist regimes - and that the only factor that held them back from doing more harm was the fact that their system of government ruined their economies and thus prevented them from even more careless poorly orchestrated industrial growth.
We should be pointing out that under capitalism we have grown into the world power and (until recently) economic powerhouse that we have - while all the while protecting our environment and ensuring cleaner air and water than almost all (if not all) other nations in the world.
The left characterizes the right and center as people who want to pave over the world, cut down all the trees, kill all the animals, and destroy nature - and the right and center have let them do this. It’s really ridiculous IMHO. You have to fight back against propaganda, or you will be victimized by it.
