1st I give you:

“Environmentalists are Gaia’s priests, instructing us in her proper service and casting out those who refuse to genuflect… And having proclaimed the ultimate commandment—carbon chastity—they are preparing the supporting canonical legislation that will tell you how much you can travel, what kind of light you will read by, and at what temperature you may set your bedroom thermostat.”
- Charles Krauthammer

Then:

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences.” — C.S. Lewis

The new priests of Gaia demand that we bow to their missives, that we reduce our carbon footprints. I agree. We all must call for those who worship at this new alter to have the strength of their convictions. They must finally and completely reduce their carbon footprints post haste. Please show us the way by example, you cannot just tell us the way.

I’m waiting……
