While anyone with a commitment to science should recognize the necessity of environmental action, not all environmentalists are guided by science. Many succumb to the naturalistic fallacy, calling anything organic good and viewing technological solutions (like nuclear energy and GMOs) unfairly sceptically. Finally, I believe humanism should propel us to promote all human thriving, which the evidence seems to suggest is correlated with more equal societies.

I am liking your blog more and more. These issues of post-partisanry and electoral reform have been my pet peeve since the last election. So many good progressive people wasting their time on this and buying into the NDP rhetoric of vote splitting. In many ways I think you’re right… the NDP is so far right these days, that why bother calling it left? it’s barely centre
Myself, I never vote left or right, but for evidence/science… and the only party that places pure science/evidence ahead of dogma are parties of the Green inclination. But that don’t seem to matter much to Canadians, who’s main religion is the economic lies coming out of Harvard and the likes… Which is a well maintained dogma pushed by Harperism. Do come by and visit the Northern Free Thinkers page on Facebook, a place for atheists of Canada’s Northern territories to share their experience and learn from others.
