Wednesday, January 13th: Gary Shaw in New York City

My Sierra membership card says 1972. I haven’t contributed since the club took $millions from Chesapeake Gas, foolishly believing they should concentrate on “beyond coal” rather than on “beyond combustion”.

Sadly, the club is now a cult — one that owes us all a carbon tax and GHG fee. Ansel Adams & John Muir are likely disgusted in their graves. “Nuclear energy is the only practical alternative we have to destroying the environment with oil [gas] and coal”.

Hansen & Lovelock are disgusted with the club, as President Kennedy might be: http://tinyurl.com/6xgpkfa

The travesty of today’s Sierra Club is that it violates the fundamental purpose of any advocacy group: member education. It loves their dues though. The club’s avoidance of fact places it directly in conflict with our descendants’ right to the good environment we’ve borrowed from them. Shame.

I use the Sierra Club with students as a sad example of what advocacy groups should not be.
