Readers of Public Secrets know that I’ve been highly critical (and contemptuous and mocking) of the anthropogenic global warming movement and its silly thesis that mankind is turning this planet into a Steam Bath of Doom. But there’s a larger environmental movement than just the global warming sector, and its goals are ambitious. Far beyond what we would think of as prudent conservation and good stewardship of the land, water, and air, the broader environmental movement seeks the centralization of authority over the environment (and thus us) in Washington and in transnational regulatory agencies. It is well-funded (often with our tax dollars), it is politically powerful, and it is a danger to our prosperity and liberty.
PJTV [1] has begun a series that looks at the environmental movement. Hosted by Joe Hicks [2], it examines who the players are, where they get their money, and what their goals are. I think it’s well-worth watching for an alternative and critical point of view:
I’ll post follow-up episodes as they appear on PJTV’s YouTube channel [3].

UPDATE: I missed this until late today, but apparently some eco-fascist group in Britain made a short film to convince people of the need to combat global warming… by showing children who doubt the AGW truth being blown up. Graphically and messily. You can read all about it at Hot Air [5], but Iowahawk [6]has the best take on it. James Delingpole calls this a massive “own goal [7]” for the Green Statists. Just amazing.
