A wind farm near Emerald, Queensland (ABC)

Turns out National Policy is set by Namecalling…
Finally, twenty years too late, some Greens admit that wind farms and renewables damage the wilderness they wanted to save, but they’ve stayed silent because they are afraid they’ll be called a climate denier.
People may have missed this significant turning point in The Australian ten days ago. Because climate change is essentially a grossly exaggerated scam, it levitates on billions of dollars and a layer-cake of coercion and intimidation. And so it goes that the economic craziness is tearing the Liberals apart, but the environmental destruction is tearing the Greens apart too.
Never underestimate the power of petty put-downs. Many on both sides didn’t speak up because they didn’t want to sound stupid, or selfish or “far right”.
If the Greens had spoken up against the dehumanizing petty names, instead of staying silent or joining in the namecalling bonfire, we wouldn’t be killing so many eagles and whales and cutting down trees “to save the planet”. Let’s not forget, saving the animals and trees is supposed to be the driving force of The Greens, yet they were willing to look the other way, or ignore something if the social cost was too high.
Wait til they find out they’ve been helping the bankers….
Environmentalists at war over wilderness in ruins
By Matthew Denhold, The Australian, September 12th 2025
Major fault lines have emerged in the environment movement over the renewables rollout, with peak groups accused of turning a blind eye to “biodiversity-destroying” projects, while a senior campaigner likens its impacts on nature to the industrial revolution.
Veteran conservationist and former federal Greens leader Christine Milne told The Australian peak environmental non-government organisations were too “frightened” to oppose renewables projects.
If only the horrible people on The Right hadn’t already opposed wind farms, it wouldn’t have been so hard for the Greens to protest:
“The reason that the larger groups have got to this point is because the right in Australia oppose renewable energy.
“And so the environment movement have been reluctant to stand up and say ‘well, actually, on this particular wind farm or this particular transmission line it’s not appropriate’. They are frightened of being categorised in climate denier (terms) …”
Not quite at the state of accepting personal responsibility then…
Bullying is such a widespread problem — even the campaign director of the Wilderness Society has quit recently because of the bad behaviour and the dire threat of industrial renewables:
Ms Milne’s intervention comes as Wilderness Society national campaigns director Amelia Young quits the group after almost 20 years, citing “intolerable … attitudes and behaviours” – and warning of a dire threat to nature posed by the renewables rollout.
“The renewables revolution threatens nature in many of the same extractive and colonial ways that the industrial revolution did,” Ms Young told colleagues in a farewell email, obtained by The Australian.
It’s amazing the effect namecalling has. It’s not just a schoolyard thing, social mockery and ostracism keeps adults in line very effectively.
Christine Milne talks about the city versus country divide within the Greens. Often it’s the rural locals who are opposing the destruction and the city based NGO’s wont help. The the traditional Greens find themselves on the nasty end of their own activist inner city Green forms of bullying:
“To denigrate those people as just Nimbys or anti-global action on climate is just wrong, and it just alienates people.”
Perhaps if the Greens didn’t teach their underlings to smear and attack everyone for fantasies like “fossil fueled funding” they might foster a healthier community of their own?
It’s interesting, isn’t it, that the climate denier insult worked even better on the Greens (and for longer) than it did on the skeptics
If the Greens had spoken against the bullies, they wouldn’t have just helped skeptics, they’d have set themselves free. Everyone would have been able to speak, and we’d all have figured out unreliable low density generators were not going to stop the storms or cancel the floods, or save the spotted quoll. And most importantly, we’d have realized that it isn’t about left and right, but about the people versus the parasitic Blob.
And that’s the thing the Blob is most afraid of — the left and the right talking to each other. (Vale Charlie, eh?!)
