“Many people over these past few decades have embraced environmentalism as their religion. One of the familiar tropes of the resulting dogma is that our pre-industrial ancestors “lived in harmony with nature” while we moderns live in conflict with it. This alleged conflict, we are warned, is destroying nature and, in turn, will destroy humanity.
Of course, the threat that this religion’s priests and votaries most incessantly herald is climate change caused by carbon emissions. “Addicted” (as the common accusation goes) to the inexpensive energy available from fossil fuels, we denizens of modernity sinfully acquire frivolous material goodies today at the expense of mass destruction, and destitution tomorrow. Our departure from our ancestors’ practice of living in harmony with nature spells our doom. And so salvation requires our return to our ancestors’ natural wisdom. Or so goes a popular environmentalist creed.” – Donald Boudreaux
