It's way past time to recognize the fact that the environmental movement was created, and has been inexorably spread, and heavily funded, by elite interests like the Rockefellers and the Ford Foundation. These players have been Malthusians all along, their purpose being not to "save the Earth" but to own nature, and depopulate the planet. (This is history is deftly summarized in Donald Gibson's unknown book, Ecology, Ideology and Power.)
