Wednesday marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Yes, the eco-minded have promoted their climate and environmental policies for five decades.
Massive, splashy worldwide strikes, marches, and celebrations to mark the date were originally planned by Earthday.org and EarthDayLive.org — both global organizations. Everything has now gone online because of the coronavirus emergency.
The eco-folks may have reason to rejoice, however. They see opportunity via virus: Social and economic restrictions have locked down pedestrians and foot traffic, curtailed air and auto travel, and quashed assorted urban phenomena.
Such things have been on the green clan’s to-do list since the beginning.
“The fights against the coronavirus and the climate crisis go hand-in-hand, and as we work to flatten the curve of this pandemic, we must strive toward the longer-term goal of building a society rooted in stainability and justice,” advise organizers for EarthDay Live.
“The coronavirus pandemic does not shut us down. Instead, it reminds us of what’s at stake in our fight for the planet. If we don’t demand change to transform our planet and meet our climate crisis, our current state will become the new normal,” counsels Earthday.org.
It presents an opportunity to re-brand the environmental mission and drum up interest.
“The climate activist community has been waiting for decades for this type of muscular government intervention in the economy and society. They have long sought to seize the opportunity to impose their world view, central planning and the banning of what they deem are non-climate-friendly aspects of our lives and remake society in their image. In short: If you like living under the coronavirus fears and government-mandated lockdowns, then you’ll love living your life under a climate emergency,” advises Marc Morano, founder of the Climate Depot, which has long debunked extreme climate theory.
Media coverage showcases striking images of blue skies, mountaintops, and pristine city streets, suggesting air pollution has abated and animal life is stirring anew.
Mr. Morano cites 30 examples of excited commentary from Al Gore, the United Nations, and PBS to name a few. Eager activists are now hatching an agenda.
“The climate movement may now be poised to plan and dictate a new earth-friendly world in the aftermath of the coronavirus. The climate activists quickly began to mobilize how to use the governments’ response to the coronavirus pandemic as a model for the climate scare,” Mr. Morano observes.
“Many in the climate action community essentially want the public to get used to this living under some sort of lockdown. They want at least a portion of these governmental lockdown powers to remain and be used for climate change after the coronavirus pandemic passes.”
Others agree.
“The coronavirus police state is only temporary I hope. The climate police state would be permanent,” tweeted Steve Milloy, founder of JunkScience.com, a news site citing faulty scientific data and analysis.

Yes this is Earth Day the day the loose nuts and screwballs come out of their closets and parade around dressed up as FLOWERS,TREES, and creeping things and make total fools of themselves noting that Earth Day was founded by a Convicted Killer Issac Einhorn who now its in prison for life
“The climate activists quickly began to mobilize how to use the governments’ response to the coronavirus pandemic as a model for the climate scare,”
Climate scientists have some ideas about how to use the corona virus pandemic to sell the climate change agenda and push for climate action.

Thanks for the link. I shared the article on social media. Not sure why you did it in all caps as it makes it very hard to read but the information contained is excellent and a must-read. Keep up the good work! -CCD Ed.
Methinks the “climate activists” are getting ahead of themselves. They need to go out and talk to real citizens who are gravely affected by this lockdown and if they’d like to have their lives curtailed like this because of some supposed climate catastrophe way in the future. The Wuhan Virus lockdown is for something right now, not decades from now.
You would think if these Nit-Wits were that interested in the Enviroment they would be building some Birdhouses or Feeders they would be cleaning up a Highway or Planting some Trees but then they would not be getting the attention of the MS. Media or be on GMA,TODAY,CBS Morning News CBS Sunday Morning or 60 Minutes so dont ever exptect these screwballs to be doing t hat kind of stuff
These brain-amputated “activists” may not realize it, but this could easily turn into the mother of all public relations disasters for them.
