Much of the radical Green agenda calls for the immediate slowdown of industry throughout the world, or strict government intervention and regulation, both of which would have drastic and immediate effects on the national and global economies. So the question becomes, with our current economic crisis, what will become of the Green movement? Look no further than the first sentence from this story in the National Post:
"To prevent a financial crisis from turning into an economic calamity, the European Union has pulled the emergency brake on green policies."

Wind and solar power are both feeling the crunch. GE has realized that, in this time of economic uncertainty, their expensive clean energy projects just aren't worth it. Lawrence Solomon, National Post columnist and author of the best selling book The Deniers, predicted in a column last weekend that environmentalism as we know it is destined to collapse.
We tend to agree. As Lorne Gunter notes here, the last 30 years of warming have literally disappeared in a single year. The idea of a consensus has been almost completely debunked, as more and more scientists have exposed the folly of the science behind global warming theory. People are not fools, and will not sacrifice the already struggling economy to combat the phantom of global warming.
It brings to mind the famous quote from Abraham Lincoln: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and you can fool all of the people some of the time. But you can't fool all of the people all of the time." In the Green agenda's case, it seems they won't be able to fool anyone too much longer.
