Environmentalist Craziness

The biggest problem facing humanity has always been and continues to be discerning truth from error. This is one of the core teachings of Christianity. God is Truth and all truth is found in him, in his perfection. The result of sin is error and a turning away from Truth and that which is true. Daily, we are bombarded with a new biggest problem facing humanity and that is environmental degradation with its climax in global warming. This has become such an ingrained religious movement, that people have succumbed to lunacy. Case in point a recent headline: sterilization to 'save the planet.'

The shrillness of catastrophic language and the hubris of these self-proclaimed prophets is exacerbated by their unquestioned moral authority. If you choose to disagree, you are labeled a shill for the fossil fuel industry, a denier (like holocaust denier), or a hater of your children and grandchildren. What is truly sad is the return to Molech worship. While not the same Idol of the Ammonites, some people have chosen to sacrifice their children to appease Mother (Molech) Nature. A consistent digestion of the Gaia theory and James Lovelock's book, "Revenge of Gaia," pointing towards and metaphorically angry, vengeful planet due to human activity, exacerbates this madness. These misanthropic undertones make me question the agenda of these people.

Some questions:

Why is it okay to destroy children in order to control population? This section of humanity seems to be outside the realm of human rights, a position agreed to by many in the Church (See Princeton 'Ethics' Professor Peter Singer for you answer)

Are humans a legitimate part of creation? Is there a ceiling on the number of humans allowed on the earth? Is God overwhelmed by/unable to commit Himself fully to the increasing population?

Has the concept of sustainable-development become the neo-colonialism of the 21st Century? The West has used this moral baton to subject the third world to the West's concept of development. I think you could draw parallels between sustainable-development and the Eurocentric colonialism of latter centuries.
