DiscoveryJoy Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I find it unbelievable how Youtube is just flooded with mere disciples of the environmentalist movement of today like these: but you never really get the original messages spread during the past post-WW2 century. How should one expect people today to put today's debates into context, without witnessing how it is just history repeating itself, i.e. without seing that we have had people like this dozens of times before they were born, and that they all failed miserably predicting the future. How is one supposed to see today's proponents totally discredited without any media archives from the past? What I am looking for is full historic video footage of speeches by environmentalism's main movers about half a century ago like Paul Ehrlich ("The Population Bomb"), Rachel Carson ("Silent Spring"), Prince Philip (World Wildlife Fund) and the like. For example, the Stockholm 1972 conference being kind of a climax point, it would be great to find a full video recording of the whole conference. I have already searched Youtube but couldn't find anything except some short speech excerpts in the two parts: or some less-than-a-minute revealing statements like these: I'd say this is pretty poor media coverage. Where are the big original speeches by the original mover's of post-WW2 environmentalism in today's media? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
