Besides the population at large these calls are being directed at children through strident propaganda directed at schools. We are all being exhorted to carry out foolish and meaningless tasks like planting greenery , opposing felling of trees etc. The seeming rationale behind these exhortations sound plausible to those unwilling or unable (children) to pursue the subject further. As to the motives behind these campaigns one can indeed speculate but the facts themselves are as follows :<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>1)Mankind is being fed by “greenery” . All food is ultimately sourced from plant stock since grazing animals etc survive on such food. The point is acreage for food stock is RISING as populations grow. Hence at least this edible “Greenery” is NOT going down. Man has no doubt “discriminated” in favour of edible greens at the “cost” of other species but as far as total greenery is concerned man is not a culprit in this regard.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>2)It is said that forests are being felled for “greed” etc at the cost of Greenery . Actually human beings have “cleared “ areas for living and commerce since the dawn of civilization and this is hardly a new phenomenon. Actually many existing countries such as the UK are today admired for their rolling pastures etc without realizing that such vegetation is totally manmade by dint of hard labour over a span of some two thousand years.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>3)The Brazilian Rain forests are often brought into the picture . These are claimed to be shrinking and disasters are being projected on this count. Actually this so called shrinkage is a debatable issue and can be attributed to various sources besides man. Indeed throughout the past such fluctuations have taken place owing presumably to the variation in sunlight from wobbling of the earth’s axis etc . The real causes are seemingly complex and cannot be laid laid simplistically at mankind’s doorstep.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>4) “Concrete Jungles” are another source of spreading this falsehood . This derogatory name for cities tries to vilify civilization itself ! Presumably the message is that we should all live in tree houses ( or maybe swing from the branches since even a tree house involves some felling of trees ! )<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>And this brings us to the logical hidden meaning of all this propaganda . That is this is simply a diatribe against civilization itself ! The real cause is for :<BR/><BR/>a) Stopping growth of agriculture<BR/><BR/>b) Reversing growth of cities<BR/><BR/>c) No roadways hence no cars or other modern transport.<BR/><BR/>d) b) and c) will effectively stop all scientific activities and industry and end civilization as we know it !<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Of course those spreading the above ideology are entitled to do so but my point is that they should be forthcoming about it . They should not “hide in the shrubbery” but should openly come out with their real agenda ! Who knows the children may like the new line since all this means NO MORE SCHOOL OR HOMEWORK !<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>There are others who point to a more sinister explanation. They say the “nutters” have been hijacked by those with a political agenda . This political agenda is to stop or contain rapid growth of rising countries like India or China. They point out that all talk of Global Warming , pollution etc has started only over the last two decades or so when India and China( in particular) started their “Long March” to match living standards of the West. An effective way of stalling their ambitions is to try to accuse them of despoiling the planet and trying to wipe out humanity ! Such charges it is said may give some sort of moral sanction to halt or contain their development. The “Weapons of Mass Destruction” come to mind .<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Vivek ThakurJimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058997155175484280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-10696529220410000802009-02-07T20:11:00.000+11:002009-02-07T20:11:00.000+11:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-52785177444920758852009-02-07T18:13:00.000+11:002009-02-07T18:13:00.000+11:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-49001299473367724132009-02-07T18:06:00.000+11:002009-02-07T18:06:00.000+11:00Anonymous Tim.
