Why would the church be concerned with the environment? If Jesus is stopping by soon, what difference does the health of the planet make?

I've thought that on several occasions. Of course, I've thought that about a lot of posters, and at some point, you have to just realize that there are simply a lot of Mormon nut cases out there. They can't all be posers.
But if I had to choose the most likely candidates, they would be Droopy and Will (and from what I remember, Pahoran on MAD).

I'm frankly sick and tired of discussing issue such as this with people who have little more than Twinkie filling taking up the space between their ears.

In 1974, Droopy's father invested all of Droopy's college money in the product tetraethyl lead. The EPA won the battle with the Ethyl Corp and then Droopy, watching helplessly from the sidelines as unleaded gas was being phased out, thought he would be losing all of his college money and began to read anti-environmental alternate histories, Ethyl Corp court briefs, and slowly but surely went mad.
Now, all day he posts on Mormon message boards and throws darts at a picture of Clair Cameron Patterson with Rush Limbaugh playing on the radio in the background.
It's only a theory with little evidence

LEED certification, first implemented in 1998 and sponsored by the U.S. Green Building Council, is the nationally accepted standard for design, construction and operation of environmentally friendly buildings....
To make the grade, “green” buildings must use less heat and electricity, have greater access to outside views by having windows close to where people work, be in close proximity to public transportation, and use products that are locally produced, that are recycled, or that give off fewer gasses that may affect people’s health.
“Improved lighting and indoor air quality allow customers to better use the records and be more comfortable while doing so,” Thompson said. “More natural light in work areas improves the job satisfaction for employees and missionaries. The community benefits from a well-designed building that looks good in the urban setting while having less impact on the environment.”
National Geographic is a joke, and is riddled with Green propaganda and junk science.
We, who are as nothing, who are as the dust of the earth, think we can make the planet warmer or cooler. We think we can destroy the oceans (not pollute or alter nodes or points upon it or within it, but the entire ocean), we think we can destroy or replace the Ozone layer, we think we can "save" or not save the planet.
Environmentalism is a neo-pagan, militant gnostic earth religion admixed with elements of secular leftist collectivsm that very probably poses the single greatest threat to both liberal democracy and the values of the Gospel than any other movement thay grew out of the sixties New Left in modern history.
I call them "eco-Nazis" because that is exactly what they are, as a group. I suppose that properly, from an ideological perspective, they should simply be called eco-communists, as they're beliefs are closer to this in detail. However, the overt anti-human animus of the movement, and especially the animal rights movement, as well as the romantic neo-primitivism and noble savage mythology that fills much of its attitudes and writings, takes us close to Nazism in some salient ways as well.
In once sense, its a militant, leftist neo-Pantheism. in another, its raw Nietzsche, shaken, not stirred; a Dionysian neo-primitivist revel that seeks to reevaluate all values in the name of a return to a state of emotive feeling and unity with a primitive, unfettered, "natural" self, in some mystical or ideological union with nature, free of both the responsibilities of democracy as well as the moral and social delimitations of the Judeo-Christian heritage at the root of western civilization.
Spend a couple of decades, as I have, reading the environmental movement's writings, listening to there words, and following the logic of their arguments.
I am conservationist and a lover of nature, both on a spiritual and a scientific level. I am not, and cannot be an environmentalist, both because I am an American, a classical liberal, and, most importantly, a member of the Lord's church.
