Environmentalism’s Woodstock
Submitted by Steven F. Hayward, Ph.D on 8.14.2002
In two weeks some 60,000 members of the international chattering class will assemble in Johannesburg, South Africa for the United Nations’ “World Summit on Sustainable Development” (WSSD). The unctuousness of U.N. gabfests can always prompt a smile, as they chiefly produce paperwork sufficient to supply several recycling plants in perpetuity. The U.N.’s Environmental Programme (UNEP), for example, is about to conduct a study of environmental conditions in Palestinian territories. One wonders whether they will reach the bold conclusion that terrorism is incompatible with sustainable development.
