People are more than free to go live like Stone Age savages if they can find the land to do so.

She should visit a few predominantly black and black governed countries.

I agree with your statement and even just looking at the title of this article if someone would replace white with another color, there would be hell to pay.

“Are white people bad for the environment?”

No, white people are just worse for the environment? We’ll just get rid of THEM first.

Author is a white woman.

Author is a mentally unwell white female with delusions brought on by educational and curiosity failures creating hubris and self-signalling virtue. In other words, she’s a nut case.

Lots of factors going on here. “White” people are not uniformly clever, rich or even particularly intelligent, these traits are more or less evenly distributed to persons of every ethnic origin in the world.

What happened to make one small pocket of humanity suddenly blossom and make great strides in extending the parameters of technology, rational thought and moral insight, was largely an accident of time and place. For a while, the right to employ innovation without it being forbidden by tyrants, or to know relatively unfettered freedom and liberty, and being permitted to keep and use the products of imaginative thought, led to a degree of prosperity that up to then, had been unknown in the world.

A frontier far from the center of the empire that had colonized that untamed land, and had only loosely held authority expressed there, was fertile ground for this growth of a new period of enlightenment. The American spirit was born amidst the challenges and uncertainties of the time, and by holding to basic rights which were attributed to a Creator, and of which all men are endowed, the whole period of ambitious expansion and optimism bloomed and growth built upon growth.

There are those who think this is a bad thing, that too few people are taking too many of the resources from the rest of the people who never knew, or would not recognize, the spirit of freedom of thought, and the rights to life, liberty and the ownership and quiet enjoyment of property, not merely for the oligarchs, but for the common man, the yeomen who did the heavy lifting and the hard labor that created the wealth in the first place.

People toil all over the world, but remain destitute because the spirit of these rights endowed by divine power is denied to them. Given permission to take advantage of all the bounty so freely bestowed from powers far beyond that of mere men, these same people will prosper greatly, for much more than what earlier would have been their wildest imaginations.

God, guns, guts, and glory.

Also, Carbon Dioxide is plant food.

Go to any NON WHITE country and see how they treat the environment.
Of course the excuse is that they are “poor countries”, but they are the ones polluting the hell out of the world at levels we could only imagine.

...taking many Indigenous lives undid much of tribes’ stewardship of vital ecosystems

Primitive stone-age tribes good! Any achievement of Western Civilization bad!

How can these kooks believe that primitive stone-age people who couldn't even invent the simple WHEEL in tens of thousands of years are the pinnacle of achievement?

>>The existence of wealthy non-white people is not a counterpoint to the fact that the climate crisis was strongly perpetuated by white, Western European ideas about dominance.

Ahem, China and India.

Yep. She’s just another Marxist trying to use Race as a wedge issue in what is essentially a Culture War.

maybe Islam is right about women

True. Hispanic countries (especially in Latin America and Russia are masculine as well so they do not tolerate this crap.

“Author is a white woman.”

No one is stopping this woman from living like the primitives she admires. She should discard the horrors of modern civilization and go live in the woods.

She is welcome to grow her own food and make her own clothes and walk everywhere she wants to go....like people did before Europeans civilized the world.
