Once a touchy-feely, consciousness-raising New Age experience, it’s now an occasion for environmental activists to prophesy apocalypse, dish antitechnology dirt, and allow passion and zeal to trump reality.<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first Earth Day celebration, a nationwide environmental teach-in held in 1970, was the brainchild of Democratic Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, who was interested in environmental issues. He recruited Pete McCloskey, a conservation-minded liberal Republican Congressman, to serve as his co-chair, and they enlisted Denis Hayes, a young activist, to be the national coordinator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the spirit of the time, it was a touchy-feely, consciousness-raising New Age experience, and most activities were organized at the grassroots level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, today\u2019s Earth Day shares much with the current zeitgeist: It reeks of wokeness, political correctness, and virtue-signaling. It has devolved into an occasion for environmental activists to prophesy apocalypse, dish anti-technology dirt, and allow passion and zeal to trump reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of those stumping for Earth Day on April 22<\/a> this year will oppose environment-friendly advances in science and technology, such as agricultural biotechnology (\u201cGMOs\u201d), fracking<\/a>, and nuclear power. A pervasive meta-message will be disdain for the capitalist system that provides the innovation needed for effective environmental protection and conservation. (It\u2019s no coincidence that low-income countries tend to be the most polluted.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ironically, the theme of this year\u2019s event, \u201cInvest In Our Planet,\u201d includes a progressive wish list, including reducing your \u201cfoodprint<\/a>.\u201d  For those unfamiliar with this neologism, a foodprint \u201cmeasures the environmental impacts associated with the growing, producing, transporting, and storing our food\u2014 from the natural resources consumed to the pollution produced to the greenhouse gases emitted.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another of this year\u2019s event topics is \u201cregenerative agriculture,\u201d a favorite concept of the environmentally woke. But as Andrew Porterfield and Jon Entine of the Genetic Literacy Project have written<\/a>, \u201cit\u2019s a lot like a rebranding of organic farming but with more grandiose claims\u2026Its supporters in the organic community make a multitude of immodest representations about what organic\/regenerative agriculture can do, including \u2018reversing global warming\u2019 and \u2018ending world hunger,\u2019 along with preserving the world\u2019s topsoil.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reality is that regenerative agriculture and its sibling, \u201cagroecology,\u201d promote reliance on primitive, low-yielding agricultural techniques, the use of which raises food prices and disadvantages the poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of this year\u2019s \u201c52 Ways to Invest in Our Planet\u201d<\/a> is \u201cGo Pesticide Free.\u201d  The organizers don\u2019t spell out how, exactly, we should accomplish this, which is hardly surprising, given that 99.99% of the pesticides in our diets are found naturally in our food. (They enable plants to fend off predators and diseases.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another of their “tips” is “eat less meat.”  Getting into the spirit of this nonsense was New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who said<\/a> on April 17th, \u201cIt is easy to talk about the emissions that\u2019s [sic] coming from buildings and how it impacts our environment, but we now have to talk about beef,\u201d  as part of an effort to steer hospital patients toward vegan meals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEducation\u201d features prominently in Earth Day activities, as in<\/a>, \u201cFifty years ago, the first Earth Day started an environmental revolution. Now, we are igniting an education revolution to save the planet. . . Through our Climate and Environmental Literacy Campaign, we will ensure that students across the world benefit from high-quality education to develop into informed and engaged environmental stewards.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What might that mean? For a previous Earth Day, seventh graders at a tony private school near San Francisco were given an unusual Earth Day assignment: Make a list of environmental projects that could be accomplished with Bill Gates\u2019s fortune. This approach to environmental awareness fits in well with the progressive worldview that the right to private property is subsidiary to undertakings that enlightened thinkers deem worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And how interesting that the resources made \u201cavailable\u201d for the students\u2019 thought experiment were not, say, the aggregate net worth of the members of Congress but the wealth of one of the nation\u2019s most successful and most innovative entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another Earth Day assignment for those same students was to read Rachel Carson\u2019s best-selling 1962 book \u201cSilent Spring,\u201d an emotionally charged but deeply flawed excoriation of the widespread spraying of chemical pesticides to control insects. As described by Roger Meiners and Andy Morriss in their scholarly yet eminently readable 2012 analysis, \u201cSilent Spring at 50: Reflections on an Environmental Classic<\/a>,\u201d Carson exploited her reputation as a well-known nature writer to advocate and legitimatize \u201cpositions linked to a darker tradition in American environmental thinking: neo-Malthusian population control and anti-technology efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carson\u2019s proselytizing and advocacy led to the virtual banning of DDT and restrictions on other chemical pesticides even though \u201cSilent Spring\u201d was replete with gross misrepresentations and atrocious scholarship. Carson\u2019s observations about DDT were meticulously rebutted point by point by J. Gordon Edwards, a professor of entomology at San Jose State University, a longtime member of the Sierra Club and the Audubon Society, and a fellow of the California Academy of Sciences. In his stunning 1992 essay, \u201cThe Lies of Rachel Carson<\/a>,\u201d Edwards demolished her arguments and assertions and called attention to critical omissions, faulty assumptions, and outright fabrications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meiners and Morriss concluded correctly that the influence of \u201cSilent Spring\u201d \u201cencourages some of the most destructive strains within environmentalism: alarmism, technophobia, failure to consider the costs and benefits of alternatives, and the discounting of human well-being around the world.\u201d Sounds a lot like the Earth Day agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the United Kingdom\u2019s great contemporary thinkers, Dick Taverne (Lord Taverne of Pimlico), discusses the shortcomings of New Age philosophy in his iconic book, \u201cThe March of Unreason<\/a>.\u201d Taverne deplores the \u201cnew kind of fundamentalism\u201d that has infiltrated many environmentalist campaigns as an undiscriminating back-to-nature movement that views science and technology as the enemy and as a manifestation of an exploitative, rapacious and reductionist attitude toward nature. It is no coincidence, he believes, that eco-fundamentalists are strongly represented in anti-globalization and anti-capitalism movements worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this, Taverne echoes the late physician and novelist Michael Crichton, who argued in his much-acclaimed novel \u201cState of Fear<\/a>\u201d that eco-fundamentalists have reinterpreted traditional Judeo-Christian beliefs and myths and turned environmentalism into a kind of religion. This religion has its own Eden and paradise, where mankind lived in a state of grace and unity with nature until mankind\u2019s fall, which came not after eating a forbidden fruit, but after partaking of the forbidden tree of knowledge \u2013 that is, technology. This religion also has a judgment day that will come for us in this polluted world \u2013 all of us, that is, except for true environmentalists, who will be saved by achieving \u201csustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of Crichton\u2019s characters argues that since the end of the Cold War, environmental alarmism in Western nations has filled the void left by the disappearance of the terror of communism and nuclear holocaust and that social control is now maintained by highly exaggerated fears about pollution, global warming, chemicals, genetic engineering, and the like. With the military-industrial complex no longer the primary driver of society, the politico-legal-media complex has replaced it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This cabal peddles fear in the guise of promoting safety. French writer and philosopher Pascal Bruckner captured its tone<\/a> nicely: \u201cYou\u2019ll get what you\u2019ve got coming! That is the death wish that our misanthropes address to us. These are not great souls who alert us to troubles but tiny minds who wish us suffering if we have the presumption to refuse to listen to them. Catastrophe is not their fear but their joy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The small-minded misanthropes have enjoyed some dubious \u201csuccesses.\u201d They have effectively banished agricultural biotechnology from Europe and much of Africa, put the chemical industry on the run and placed the pharmaceutical industry in their crosshairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lord Taverne believes these are ominous trends that are contrary to the principles of the Enlightenment, returning us to an era in which inherited dogma and superstition took precedence over experimental data. Eco-fundamentalism strangles scientific creativity and technological innovation, blocking the availability of products that, used responsibly, could dramatically improve and extend many lives and protect the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lord Taverne posited that when you defend science and reason, you defend democracy itself. Well said, Milord, and happy Earth Day to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
