The Greens: illogical and treacherous

Both the Japanese and Aboriginal groups use the argument that it is part of their culture to kill these animals. Both now use modern technology rather than a wooden boat and spear to kill. Both groups should desist. But, the greens cannot bear to tell Indigenous people they should not hunt. They would prefer to pretend that Aboriginal people will naturally look after the environment.

The greens’ sense of guilt at past injustices perpetrated on Aboriginal people makes them betray the cause to which they are supposed to be committed.

The greens have long been illogical and treacherous about population and Indigenous hunting, but it is with regards to biofuels that they betray even their own warped ideals.

The greens tell us that ethanol from maize, wheat or sugar, and biodiesel from palm oil is somehow more environmentally friendly than oil from oil wells. Never mind that it was obvious from the beginning that the result of the push for biofuel would be the starvation of a few million Africans and Central Americans due to the use of maize to make ethanol; not to mention the mass clearance of rainforest to make way for palm oil plantations.

The penny has finally dropped regarding biofuels and governments are now asking some hard questions about whether subsidies should continue. Nevertheless the greens must be held responsible for their lack of logic that has encouraged the burning of food to power Toorak tanks.

On other more complicated issues it is not the just the greens’ lack of logic that is the problem, it is their unwillingness to engage in any genuine debate. They often will simply resort to questioning the motives of those that oppose them. I favour the use of nuclear power because it is environmentally friendly and I am regularly labelled as a front for the uranium miners. If one is in favour of geo-sequestration of CO2 from coal then you must automatically be in the pay of the coal industry.

In short the green movement is no longer a defender of environmental conservation, of the flora and fauna. Their lack of logic and policies which are clearly deleterious to the natural environment mean that they now do more harm than good. It is time for the green movement to cease its emphasis on fashionable social ideas and put the natural environment first. They must move from a reliance on unverifiable ideas in social science to a dependence on the verifiable real sciences.
