O-kay, so then, what is environmentalism? Because it is a movement, that involves the environment and changing the way people treat the environment through politics and all that happy stuff. At least, that's what my Environmental Science book says. Environmentalists study the environment in order to save it.

And global warming? What's wrong with that? I mean, I know what's wrong with it, but what's wrong with the google search? Did it give bad data, because I'm not seeing it....

But the focus of environmentalism isn't to be a special interest group trying to control Congress, it's to act for the greater good. The phrasing is identical to that of a Christian Right movement trying to ban abortion or something. Besides that, much of environmentalism is done by groups, who choose to act in better ways and educate others, not strong-arming Congress. Basically, the focus is off.

The google search pops up a bunch of sites debating the issue, or else putting it in indefinite terms. That any sites like that still exist by this point is depressing, that they're near the top of the list more so.
