Bolivia Grants The Earth Human Rights
The Bolivian government have enshrined the rights of mother earth in law with a ceremony at Murillo Plaza during earth day.
The legislation enacted by President Evo Morales puts the earth on equal footing with humanity. In Bolivia the earth now has:
- The right to life including the integrity of ecosystems and natural processes, and the necessary conditions for regeneration.
- The right to biodiversity which should be preserved without genetic modification.
- The right to water in sufficient quantity and quality to sustain life, protected from pollution.
- The right to clean air.
- The right to equilibrium through “maintain[ing] or restor[ing]] the interrelation, interdependence, complementarity, and functionality” of all parts of the Earth.
- The right to restoration of ecosystems damaged by human activity.
- The right to live free of pollution including toxic and radioactive waste.
The earth doesn’t need us arrogant humans to grant it rights under the false construct of law. The earth just is, and will continue long after we’ve gone.
The argument for “saving the earth” has nothing to do with the earth and everything to do with humans wanting to preserve their own survival on the earth. The earth is just fine.
The problem with creating laws to give the earth rights is that law is a concept created by man. Thus the only conscious consequence will be on man themselves.
Now most of this legislation seems fair and noble, but like all law it’s open to interpretation. Who gets to decide when an ecosystem is considered damaged?
The Bolivian leaders and their Eco-Fascist pals in the UN would have you believe that man, through the production of CO2 is causing the earth to warm to a catastrophic level. This however is still a debated issue amongst scientists and the alarmists are still waiting for the sky to fall.
POWER! It is always about power. Power over the earth. Power over the people. Power over the sky. Power over the water. POWER to build war machines with the apathetic populace’s money and then use those same war machines on that same populace. Power to go throughout the world uprooting the “tares” from the poisoned wheat. Power to take another country’s artifacts and put them on display on the Pretenders’ front lawns. Power to divide people in order to jack their life, liberty and property. POWER to stand on a globe and pretend you rule it all when in fact you have nothing but the sweat between your cheeks just like the next Joe. Face it this is just another POWER play by the same ole wampires. Best yet – the POWER to make us all believe it – down right BEE Magical…
Like I said, I think AGW is a red herring and one that takes too much intellectual and analytical energy when the real focus should be the our destruction of our life source.
James Lovelock seems to think that the only true indicator of climate change is sea level rise….
Interesting article on eco-fascists. I fear that eco-fascism will rear it’s rather large head in the future if we do not alter our destructive behaviour. When resources begin to dwindle (well, they already are) and a larger and larger percentage of the world’s population becomes increasingly desparate, the world will be ripe for fascism of any type, eco-fascism being the the one that would make sense to many people.
“This however is still a debated issue amongst scientists” – No it’s not being debated. There is an overwhelming consensus. The idea that it is being debated is one that is peddled by the Fox News’s of the world, to create angst and confusion. Climate Change is a bit of a red herring though, it is a sympton of a much larger issue, which is consumerism and our destruction of the natural world to feed the gaping maw of need without use – flat screens, iphones, bmw, etc. Stop mining, burning, clearing, polluting and you stop what is an undeniable human contribution of chemicals to the atmosphere. Where do you think all the exhaust fumes, smoke from factory smoke stacks, etc go to? They don’t just disappear into space. We live within a closed system. It has an impact.
I agree with you on the Bolivia earthrights issue. The earth will be just fine after we’re gone. I do think that there is value in the earth rights issue because as you say, protecting the earth is really about protecting ourselves, or prolonging our stay on this planet. I’m not so sure that’s a good thing though, considering our immaculate behaviour thus far in our history.

This is not just a fox news issue, in fact Fox as a network have actually admitted to pushing global warming alarmism in to a lot of their programming, so if anything they are pro-AGW like the rest of the establishment media.

The “consensus” argument is not something I agree with. Firstly science is not settled by a majority consensus, it is consensus that holds back science. There was a consensus once that the earth was flat.
And the consensus is from establishment scientists, those who have vested interests, agendas, funding to worry about and so on.
Take those that seem to want to push a fascist ideology through climate change:

Piers Corbyn, an astrophysicist who claims the Sun regulates the climate, was the only person to predict and warn the public that there would be record cold spells in the UK in 2010. The warmists were still forecasting a mild winter! Here’s what he has to say about AGW advocates:
