INTERNET WEB SITE DIRECTORY FOR PRIVATE LANDOWNERS
In recent years special interest groups, many created by the United Nations, have flooded the world’s information highways with dire predictions of looming environmental disaster. These scary prophecies are often based on unproven science or no science at all. Nonetheless, they routinely clog the Internet, are widely read, seldom challenged and frequently denounce private ownership and use of rural land as a root cause of ecological degradation on Planet Earth.
Obviously, every member of our global village must practice environmental vigilance. But there is an equally pressing need to question the opinions of those who find, in the hugely profitable environment industry, personal fame and fortune by preaching a gospel of approaching doom.
Visiting the Internet web sites listed below may help answer that need.. And so provide some informed balance, whether by deduction or comparison, in the swirling torrent of electronic propaganda designed to enlarge our environmental anxieties. By the way, the first site listed is of particular interest since its many sub-pages hint at the vast, money- driven landscape of programs and payroll on which this single, entrenched U.N. initiative depends.
