AN EASTER MONDAY MEDITATION.

Exodus 20:3 is germane to Earth Day.  "The Climate Change movement always shouts out revised and updated apocalypse predictions, eerily reminiscent of the stereotypical bum on the sidewalk with that 'The End Is Near' sign."  Yup, right on schedule. "Although our planet faces major tipping points on climate change, the environment is not a top-tier political issue. Anywhere!"

We've only been hearing this end-is-near stuff for fifty Earth Days now, and we're at least twenty years past the first apocalypse.
Keep these predictions in mind when you hear the same predictions made today. They’ve been making the same predictions for 39 years. And they’re going to continue making them until…well…forever.

Here we are, 39 years later and the economy sucks, but the ecology’s fine. In fact this planet is doing a lot better than the planet on which those green lunatics live.
The good news is, 49 years on, that the economy is doing better, it's the elites (and the green lunatics in particular) that suck; and the incentives align for people to keep the real earth (as opposed to whatever planet the green lunatics live on) in a state of better repair.  "Peak population, expanding forests, more abundant resources, falling air pollution, and plenty of farmland."

Get the incentives right, and every day can be Earth Day.
