Thanks for the perspective. You’re right, it’s not new. What is new is that, for some reason, it’s starting to gain traction with many many in the West.

The hard part for me is stay balanced in the face of extremism.
Environmental fanatics trying to undercut civilization - I want to say “screw them and the environment.”
But that’s not right either.
I try to use an area where I’m well grounded as a guide.
There are black leaders who want special rights for being black. There are feminist leaders who want special rights for being female. I know not to over-react - they get equal rights, no more, no less.
I just have to do that with the environment. We need clean air and water just as if the fanatics weren’t insisting on something crazy. We should what is sensible and affordable with the environment, no more, no less.
