As President Trump downgrades the relevance of Obama era climate change and anti-fossil-fuel policies, many environmentalists are directing attention to “sustainable development.”
Like “dangerous manmade climate change,” sustainability reflects poor understanding of basic energy, economic, resource extraction, and manufacturing principles – and a tendency to emphasize tautologies and theoretical models as an alternative to readily observable evidence in the Real World. It also involves well-intended but ill-informed people being led by ill-intended but well-informed activists who use the concept to gain greater government control over people’s lives, livelihoods, and living standards.
The most common definition is that we may meet the needs of current generations only to the extent that doing so will not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Sustainability thus reflects the assertion that we are rapidly depleting finite resources, and must reduce current needs and wants so as to save raw materials for future generations.
At first blush, it sounds logical and even ethical. But it requires impossible clairvoyance.
In 1887, when the Hearthstone House became the world’s first home lit via hydroelectric power, no one did or could foresee that electricity would dominate, enhance, and safeguard our lives in the myriad ways it does today. Decades later, no one anticipated pure silica fiber optic cables replacing copper wires.
No one predicted tiny cellular phones with superb digital cameras and more computing power than a 1990 desktop computer or 3-D printing or thousands of wind turbines across our fruited plains – or cadmium, rare-earth metals, and other raw materials suddenly required to manufacture these technological wonders.
Mankind advanced at a snail’s pace for thousands of years. As the modern fossil-fuel industrial era found its footing, progress picked up at an increasingly breathtaking pace. Today, change is exponential. As we moved from flint to copper, to bronze, iron, steel, and beyond, we didn’t do so because mankind had exhausted Earth’s supplies of flint, copper, tin, and so on. We did it because we innovated – invented something better, more efficient, or more practical. Each advance required different raw materials.
Who today can foresee what technologies future generations will have 25, 50,or 200 years from now? What raw materials they will need? How we are supposed to ensure that those families meet their needs?
Why then would we even think of empowering government to regulate today’s activities today based on the wholly unpredictable technologies, lifestyles, needs, and resource demands of distant generations? Why would we ignore or compromise the needs of current generations, to meet those totally unpredictable future needs – including the needs of today’s most impoverished, energy-deprived, malnourished people, who desperately want to improve their lives?
Moreover, we are not going to run out of resources anytime soon. A 1-kilometer fiber optic cable made from 45 pounds of silica (Earth’s most abundant element) carries thousands of times more information than an equally long RG-6 cable made from 3,600 pounds of copper, reducing demand for copper.
In 1947, the world’s proven oil reserves totaled 47 billion barrels. Over the next 70 years, we consumed hundreds of billions of barrels – and yet, in 2016 we still had at least 2,800 billion barrels of oil reserves, including oil sands, oil shales, and other unconventional deposits: at least a century’s worth, plus abundant natural gas. Constantly improving technologies now let us find and produce oil and natural gas from deposits that we could not even detect, much less tap into, just a couple decades ago.
Sustainability dogma also revolves around hatred of fossil fuels, and a determination to rid the world of them, regardless of any social, economic, or environmental costs of doing so. And we frequently find that supposedly green, eco-friendly, and sustainable alternatives are frequently anything but.
U.S. ethanol quotas eat up 40% of the nation’s corn, cropland the size of Iowa, billions of gallons of water, and vast quantities of pesticides, fertilizers, tractor fuel, and natural gas, to produce energy that drives up food prices, damages small engines and gets one-third less mileage per gallon than gasoline.
Heavily subsidized wind energy requires standby fossil fuel generators, ultra-long transmission lines and thus millions of tons of concrete, steel, copper, rare-earth metals, and fiberglass. The turbines create chronic health problems for people living near them and kill millions of birds and bats – to produce intermittent, wholly unreliable electricity that costs up to 250% more than coal-based electricity.
For all that, on a torrid August 2012 day, Great Britain’s 3,500 giant wind turbines generated a mere 12 megawatts of electricity: 0.032% of the 38,000 MW the country was using at the time.
The United Kingdom also subsidizes several huge anaerobic digesters, intended to convert animal manure and other farm waste into eco-friendly methane for use in generating electricity. But there is insufficient farm waste. So the digesters are fed with corn (maize), grass, and rye grown on 130,000 acres (four times the size of Washington, DC), using enormous amounts of water, fertilizer – and of course diesel fuel to grow, harvest and transport the crops to the digesters. Why not just drill and frack for natural gas?
That brings us to the political arena, where the terminology is circular, malleable, infinitely elastic, the perfect tool for activists. Whatever they support is sustainable; whatever they oppose is unsustainable; and whatever mantras or protective measures they propose give them more power and control.
The Club of Rome sought to build a new movement by creating “a common enemy against whom we can unite” – allegedly looming disasters “caused by human intervention in natural processes” and requiring “changed attitudes and behavior” to avoid global calamities: global warming and resource depletion.
“Building an environmentally sustainable future requires restricting the global economy, dramatically changing human reproductive behavior, and altering values and lifestyles,” said Worldwatch Institute founder Lester Brown. “Doing this quickly requires nothing short of a revolution.”
“Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class – involving high meat intake, the use of fossil fuels, electrical appliances, home and workplace air conditioning, and suburban housing – are not sustainable,” Canadian arch-environmentalist Maurice Strong declared.
“Minor shifts in policy, moderate improvements in laws and regulations, rhetoric offered in lieu of genuine change,” former Vice President Al Gore asserted – “these are all forms of appeasement, designed to satisfy the public’s desire to believe that sacrifice, struggle and a wrenching transformation of society will not be necessary.” Environmental activist Daniel Sitarz agreed, saying: “Agenda 21 proposes an array of actions intended to be implemented by every person on Earth. Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of all humans, unlike anything the world has ever experienced.”
“Sustainable development,” the National Research Council declaimed in a 2011 report, “raises questions that are not fully or directly addressed in U.S. law or policy, including how to define and control unsustainable patterns of production and consumption, and how to encourage the development of sustainable communities, biodiversity protection, clean energy, environmentally sustainable economic development, and climate change controls.” In fact, said Obama science advisor John Holdren, we cannot even talk about sustainability without talking about politics, power, and control. Especially control.
Of course, the activists, politicians and regulators feel little pain, as they enjoy salaries and perks paid by taxpayers and foundations, fly to UN and other conferences at posh 5-star resorts around the world, and implement agendas that control, redesign, and transform other people’s lives.
It is We the Governed – especially working class and poor citizens – who pay the price, with the world’s poorest families paying the highest price. We can only hope the Trump Administration and Congress will dismantle and defund sustainable development, the alter ego of cataclysmic manmade climate change.
“In fact, said Obama science advisor John Holdren, we cannot even talk about sustainability without talking about politics, power, and control. Especially control.”
That is the most pertinent quote in the article. It hits what AGW is all about, CONTROL. Economic control. Not really saving the planet but control of people’s lives. The AGW sheep can’t see it, of course.
More recycled rubbish from Paul… intentionally designed to mislead and misinform. Outrageous claims that are never substantiated.
Funny it’s surely the warmists who never explain because they have no understanding of their own.
Sheer laziness. Why not inform yourself and the tell us what you learned. You can’t refute any of it: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/syr/
BTW, Driessen is “senior policy advisor” for CFACT, the organization that uses fake Time Magazine covers to mislead and misinform.
“Laziness.”
Perfect description of you, too lazy to learn real science, so you peddle CatastrophicAGW-by-CO2 propaganda for your climate cult religion.
Your first reference merely give evidence that the climate changes, which no one denies. There is absolutely no empirical evidence there that humans have been the primary cause of any of that climate change. Here’s why:
Sea level – propaganda based on using two different measurement methods, tide gauges in the early part of the 20th century, the “adjusted” satellite numbers. The un-adjusted satellite data shows no change in sea level rise. The only common measurement method, tide gauges, shows lower rise rate in the late 20th century than the early 20th century.
– “The rate of sea level rise was found to be larger during the early part of the century (2.03 +/- 0.35 mm/yr 1904-1953), in comparison with the latter part (1.45 +/- 0.34 mm/yr, 1954-2003).” – Holgate(2007), ‘On the decadal rates of sea level change during the twentieth century’
– “we use 1277 tide gauge records since 1807 to provide an improved global sea level reconstruction and analyze the evolution of sea level trend and acceleration … The new reconstruction suggest a linear trend of 1.9 mm-yr^-1 during the 20th century, with 1.8 mm-yr^-1 since 1970.” – Jevrejeva(2014), ‘Trends and acceleration in global and regional sea levels since 1807’
Global temperature rise – propaganda based on corrupted-by-adjustment land/ocean numbers. In the 21st century, humans have added 500 billion tons of CO2 to the atmosphere (~1/3 of all the human CO2 ever produced) and it didn’t cause the temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere to increase. The only increase has been due to the natural 2015-2016 El Nino. Prior to that El Nino, the temperature of the atmosphere had decreased slightly: http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/uah6/from:2001/to:2015.3/plot/uah6/from:2001/to:2015.3/trend/plot/esrl-co2/from:2001/offset:-375/scale:0.04/to:2015.3/mean:12/offset:0.3/plot/rss/from:2001/to:2015.3/offset:-0.1/plot/rss/from:2001/to:2015.3/trend/offset:-0.1
Warming oceans – Ocean warming is caused by solar radiation, not ghgs. Ghgs in the atmosphere can’t transfer heat into the oceans because they are at lower temperature than the ocean surface, plus the energy
from ghgs doesn’t penetrate beyond a few millionths of a meter, whereas solar radiation penetrates up to ~200 meters. The science is found here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/non_fictionreviews/10748667/The-game-is-up-for-climate-change-believers.html#comment-1337265444
Shrinking ice sheets – False propaganda. The Greenland and Antarctic Ice sheets have been increasing in mass.
– “Ice, Cloud and Elevation Satellite (ICESat) data show mass gains from snow accumulation exceeded discharge loss by 82 +/- 25 Gta^-1 … European Remote-sensing Satellite (ERS) data (1992-2001) give a similar gain of 112 +/- 62 Gta^-1.” – Zwally(2015), ‘Mass gains of the Antarctic ice sheet exceed losses’
– Greenland is gaining ice faster than the 1990-2013 average, http://www.dmi.dk/en/groenland/maalinger/greenland-ice-sheet-surface-mass-budget/
Declining Arctic Sea Ice – propaganda based on cherry picked period beginning at 1979 year of highest ice. Satellite record goes back to 1974 when NH sea ice was 2 million km^2 lower. IPCC FAR Fig.20(a) shows cherry picked 1979 start date, https://wattsupwiththat.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/ipcc_1_extent_anomalies_fig_7-2a.png
Site also ignores record levels of Antarctic sea ice gains,
http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/IMAGES /seaice.anomaly.antarctic.png , which offsets Arctic sea ice losses. Global sea ice in 2013 & 2014 was right back where it was in the mid-1980s: http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/IMAGES
/global.daily.ice.area.withtrend.jpg No “death spiral” there like the climate alarmists claim.
Plus recent Arctic ice changes are just natural variations as experienced in the early 1900s: “The huge warming in the Arctic which started in the 1920s and lasted for almost two decades is one of the most spectacular climate events of the 20th century.” – Bengtsson(2004), ‘The Early 20th century warming in the Arctic – A Possible Mechanism’ This was written after the 1979-2004 Arctic ice changes.
Glacial retreat – No empirical evidence that this was caused by anthropogenic ghgs. Glacial retreat started at the end of the Little Ice Age before there were any significant anthropogenic ghgs. Most of the ice loss was prior to the mid-1900s when the IPCC claims anthropogenic influences became dominant. http://www.grid.unep.ch/glaciers/img/5-1.jpg This is also confirmed by this glacial loss chart: http://soundwaves.usgs.gov/2001/07/glacierbaymap.gif
Extreme events – The US is not the world. And there is no empirical evidence that extreme weather has increased: http://www.globalwarming.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ChristyJR_130530_McKinley-PDF-of-PPT.pdf

Ocean acidification – Propaganda. The actual data shows that ocean has not become more acidic. https://wattsupwiththat.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/mwacompilationofglobalocean_phjan82014.jpg
Decreased snow cover – Cherry picked NH spring season. The annual data shows no significant change in NH snow cover over the past 45 years: http://www.climate4you.com/images/NHemisphereSnowCoverSince1972.gif
Climate change is STILL primarily natural, not man made, just as it has been throughout the entire history of the planet.
This comprehensive report that includes hundreds of references to peer reviewed science shows that: https://www.heartland.org/media-library/pdfs/CCR-II/CCR-II-Full.pdf
Your second reference also provides no empirical evidence that anthropoghenic was the primary cause of the late 20th century warming. There wasn’t a single peer reviewed paper cited in that report that did either. It is just a biased, one-sided report that ignored empirical data that showed there was ~10 times more increase in natural climate forcing during the late 20th century than there was increase in CO2 forcing.
All you do is repeat the propaganda talking points from your climate alarmist religion.

There is no doubt that global warming and all its phony permutations are a marxist hoax, intended to justify the imposition of a one-party one-world socialist government and the permanent rule of a collectivist hierarchy. Its main apparatus, the so-called United Nations, must be defunded and driven from our shores and its grotesque headquarters torn down and replaced by something useful.
HOX ever’buddeh!
Clearly there is still a market among the Faux/Breitbartian faithful for claiming that:
And, to hide their scam, scientists have recruited the natural world into going along with their plot, namely:
Has there ever been – ever – a less likely conspiracy theory ever than this one? In the history of the world?

Craig Rucker summarized : “Pivot to an eco-campaign that defies any objective measure of objectivity whatsoever: “Sustainability.”
I think it is objectively measurable and John Christy stated the prime criterion very clearly :
If it’s not economically sustainable , it’s not sustainable .

Mentily illness of liberal globalist suffering from vegan dementia lack of zinc projecting there illness on the rest of the world !
Werd how the mind does that when imballenced thinks it’s seperior to all others ! Consoling in others with the same dementia to form a collectivity of intolectual stupidity to commit sociatle suiside like Lemmings hesterically running for the first cliff to jump off !
In there lack of science knowledge they actually become the greatest contributes of polution from all I’ve studied ! Agenda 21 sustainability global warming climate change all madness of a self extinction of a people that stand by and let it happen to them !
Yet their leaders at the top believe none of their drool drabel ,but find it convenient to build a new world communist order with carbon tax bent only on taxing fossil fuel from only because free energy sources perduce no revinue ! And their are plenty ! But as usual establishment rich only invest to put a stop to them from the start ! The answers to their mental carbon problem they in setting up this communist government will never persue ! A kingdom of liars bent on self destruction with no intention of using free energy or cheaper than coal bloom energy !
So goes the al Gore ,the Obama’s , the George SOROS all this generation of madness of mentally ill attempting to rual a would they couldn’t possibly understand especially mentally disabled with a zinc deficiency of veganism !
But George SOROS just picked up some bargain coal stocks Obama left him ! Hmmmmmm ! So how Mutch of this b*ls**t of theirs should I buy !!!?????????????
Excellent article Mr. Driessen: What I have become to believe is that most liberals accept this B.S. but also some republicans. What I don’t known is why. I suspect that liberals accept these concepts because that is what they they have been trained to do and are supposed to do. I suspect that some republicans accept these concepts because they are in it for the money and are it means they are invested in green energy, are simply liberals in disguise, or they are simply looking to show their basic liberal counties or state that they are for you before they are against. In other words, elect me first and I’ll do anything you want.
For the AGW sheep.
