Common-Sense Environmentalism

Common-sense environmentalism as described within the Heartland Institute article details how the average citizen that wants a healthy environment is not an extreme activist that uses junk science and alarmism to further the cause for a better global ecology. The paper goes more in depth as to how the �climate realists’ plan for making small infrastructure changes through inexpensive means vs the creation of Federal Laws and sweeping changes.

Main points presented start with the make-up of what constitutes common sense and efficiency in attaining the goal of a healthier global ecology. The segues into the biggest topics in environmentalist activism- air pollution, global warming, toxic chemical exposure and how environmentalism is a pastime of the rich.

The Heartland Institute claims within this paper that their climate science reveals that the �world has warmed about 1 degree C during the past century, with half of that occurring before human emissions could have been responsible.’ And then states that any reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are fallible due to political editing. However, the Heartland Institute does not show within this report that their own sources are less inconclusive.

I do feel that funding from any vested companies would compromise the integrity of any article that had been dedicated to persuasive argument for any topic concerning those companies. I also feel that what was presented in this article had a far higher �propaganda’ influence than shown in An Inconvenient Truth, or even the sensationalism that Fox News spews- as they are regularly called on the carpet for their inconsistencies.
