Planet of the Humans

Some of us have been Red Not Green forever. We have tried to get the message out about greenwashing and so on. Greenery was founded against the Left by people who did not want economic development for our people to ruin the views from their expensive windows.

Michael Moore has his faults. Who hasn't? But this film will at last put up the platform from which the victims of all of this, notably many indigenous tribal peoples and numerous communities of the industrial working class, will be able to speak.

We take the highest view of human demographic, economic, intellectual and cultural expansion and development. That is fully compatible with the most active concern for the conservation of the natural world and of the treasures bequeathed by such expansion and development in the past.

We insist that any approach to climate change must protect and extend secure employment with civilised wages and working conditions. It must encourage economic development around the world. It must maintain the right of the working classes and of people of colour to have children. It must hold down, and as far as practicable reduce, the fuel prices that always hit the poor hardest. And it must refuse to restrict travel opportunities or a full diet to the rich.

The Centre is the think tank for this new era. Please give generously.
