There are a hundred rabbit trails in this post, that I could go down, but I will stick with the arrogance of the human, in the big scheme of things.
On second thought, I wil chase rabbits.
Let's look at the self destructive attitude of the environmentalists. In today's world, that doesn't mean a farmer who has figured out the wisdom of contour plowing and crop rotation.
These people are willing to cut their noses off, to spite their faces. Very, very few of the people insisting that we return to some medevial stage of existence, could or would last a week, under the conditions, which they desire to foist upon the rest of us.
Let's look at one example. In the 30's, men with vision decided to use our natural resources for our advantage....Huge dams were constructed, controlling water flow, for the purpose of power production and storage of a valuable resource. Out of that, we got practically free electricity and the ability to turn rich desert soil into fertile farmland. Land which has produced bumper crops at rock bottom prices, for those people who think that food comes from the grocery store.
Along comes a bunch of self righteous, [sentient] arrogant environmentalists, who's real agenda is to destroy capitalism, at all costs, and, through legislation, are able to get the irrigation water shut off to many farms in the California Central Valley.....Why? Some little backwater minnow called the Delta Smelt.. A 2" minnow, which serves the lower end of the food chain.
Now, thousands of acres of good farmland sit idle, thousands of farm workers out of a job, and towns disappearing, for lack of commerce.
The fish lives, the people die.....HOOOORAY!!!!! Mission accomplished......Yet, you say that you are sentient about the condition of the earth, because you'd like to stick around a while...Hard to do that, without food.
As George Carlin pointed out, they really don't care about the trash. They just like their area to be clean and pristine....Go ahead, get your grapes from Chile or Mexico. Somehow, I doubt if they are worried about the Delta Smelt.
I agreed what you said, the environmentalist are very self-centered people, and are willing to throw humanity under the bus for their own purposes.
