The Climate Cult’s Guilt Trip Versus America’s Environmental Record
Earth Day’s flawed premise: the planet does better when the country does more.

It’s Earth Day, and the Left has one mission — no, not to save the environment, but to make you feel terrible about yourself, especially as an American.
Every April 22, we are invited to feel guilty for driving, flying, eating meat, having children, and existing as a prosperous, industrial civilization.
The premise hasn’t changed since the first Earth Day in 1970. Humans are the problem, and the less we produce, consume, and build, the better off the planet will be.
This is not a robust argument designed to solve environmental problems. It’s a theology of decline dressed up in simple narratives fit for children’s books and cartoons, such as The Lorax or Fern Gully.
