Jonah Goldberg: Environmentalism is dead - Long live environmentalism!

Jonah Goldberg gives us reason to hope that environmental policy might become more sane and people friendly:

I was recently invited to speak to C-Fact, a conservative environmentalist group at the University of Minnesota. To some this might sound about as weird as saying I was invited to speak to a group of Socialist Yachtsmen in Monaco. Of course, there are plenty of yachtsmen who are more or less socialists (whether they meet in Monaco, I have no idea - but I will gladly go speak to them there). And, there are conservatives who love the environment - more of them than you might realize. More importantly, young conservatives are willing to fight for the environmentalist label, and that's a sign of progress...

I don't know about you, but I'm seeing a whole lot of good coming from the newest wave of adults and near-adults. I am amazed at how many of them are fighting back against PC madness of all sorts. Bravo.

UPDATE: C-Fact turns out to be a national organization, otherwise known as Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow. I just visited their homepage at www.cfactcampus.org. The motto on the top of the page reads "A national student organization dedicated to promoting a smarter future for people - and nature too!"
