It seems to be, time and time again, that hordes of dedicated, devoted environmentalists organize themselves into protest, only to end up on the losing side every single time.
Why are they always on the losing end of the fight? The answer is not because their beliefs are flawed, but the problem lies in the way that the ideology is preached and received. The movement as a whole for the most part, functions almost like a religion, supporting its facts with dogma, rather than legitimate proof. This dogma strips the movement of a voice with power, worthy of receiving serious consideration.
This dogma, and almost religious aspect to the environmental movement is the reason that these motivated, passionate environmentalists do not bring the radical change they so desperately seek. An unfortunate reality is that many of these change-makers are bleeding hearted people who strive towards a utopian civilization that is imaginary, at best. These people are not realists, only radical visionaries; this is the very thing that discredits anything they do or say.
To achieve measurable success that would be a step towards averting environmental catastrophe would take not only visionaries, but visionaries that can coordinate what the say with reality, and abandon the constricting and poisoning dogma. The leaders must not only have the passion to create change, but also the intelligence, and a credible voice.
Don't get me wrong: I'm a huge environmentalist myself. My pessimism towards these ill-equipped environmentalists is due to my scorn towards the fact that they are preventing true progress, and discrediting the movement itself.
