Heartland Institute Top Voodoo Science Advisor
The ever reliable voodoo economists and psuedoscientists of the Heartland Institute want to extend to you their thoughts on Earth Day.
Because, Earth. We hates it, we do.
Earth Day is all but a symbol of evil, managed by those who care not at all for humans and in fact do no good for nature or the animal world. Most activities are vile recriminations staged by those who wish to keep the poor just where they are: poor. — Jay Lehr, Science Director, The Heartland Institute
Note to self: add more recriminations into today's celebration. Make sure extremely vile.
Oh, and poor people. I am deliberately withholding the pollution that would enrich your life. Wha ha ha ha. Ha.
Earth Day should be a day for celebrating property rights and markets. — H. Sterling Burnett Research Fellow, Environment and Energy Policy, The Heartland Institute
The Heartland Institute does not recognize any difference between nature and the marketplace. Indeed, can we not say that a re-securitized residual interest packaged as a net interest margin security and carried in an off-balance sheet transaction generating billions of theoretical dollars from an original transaction of only a few thousand is a far greater wonder than some flea-ridden cheetah or goggle-eyed fish? Verily.

It’s time for Earth Day Network, and indeed all sensible environmentalists, to divorce themselves from the climate scare albatross and focus instead on real environmental concerns over which we have influence. — Tom Harris, Policy Advisor, Energy and Environment, The Heartland Institute
Yes. Address yourself to things that can really be changed, people. And remember: you can only make change on things with a value less than a dollar.
Earth Day was declared in 1970 and for the past 45 years we have all been living in the Environmental Insane Asylum, being told over and over again to believe things that are the equivalent of Green hallucinations.... Here’s the simple truth that most people are not told: The Sun warms the Earth and the Earth warms the atmosphere.
Whether it is the president or the pope, or the countless politicians and bureaucrats, along with multitudes of ‘environmental’ organizations, as well as self-serving scientists, a virtual Green Army has been deliberately deceiving and misleading the citizens of planet Earth for four-and-a-half decades. It won’t stop any time soon, but it must before the charade of environmentalism leaves us all enslaved by the quest for the political control over our lives that hides behind it. — Alan Caruba Policy Advisor, The Heartland Institute
The Sun warms the Earth and ... and ... the Earth warms the atmosphere? (head slap) How could we have missed it? Time to do something about the sun. Or maybe the Earth. Yeah, that's the ticket—Anti-Earth Day! The Heartland Institute celebrates that one 365.25 days a year.
