I believe in sensible conservation, not dire alarmist warnings. I'm convinced that more and stronger private property ownership can promote good conservation. I do not believe that our environment is fragile. We can thank God that we have an environment that in many ways cleans itself up and balances itself.
I also believe that we have every reason to believe that our universe had a beginning and that it will have an end. Things wear out and wear down. Things die. There’s only so much we can do about that. Someday, this will all be replaced.
It is not wrong for us to manipulate our environment for safety, agriculture, shelter, energy, and so forth. The Left likes to use environmental issues to promote larger government and socialism, and we shouldn’t let them do that. Animals manipulate the environment, and they use other animals as well. Some animals eat other animals and each other. So how can it be immoral for us to do so?
We're nowhere near exhausting our natural resources.
Here are some of my previous entries on environmental issues:
