"Deep Ecology as an organized spiritual endeavor has become immoral bastardized horseshit, run by guilty oligarchs with spiritual rot complaining about motorized wreckreation or cattle, never calling for carrying capacities for the consumptive recreational uses their businesses and shared elite pursuits promote."

"We know that some of these groups have taken money directly from the gas industry or from the foundations of pro-fracking politicians. Others have worked against grassroots campaigns for a ban in other states and have misinformed the grassroots about key issues relevant to pursuing statewide ban strategies. At the same time, these organizations posture not only as environmental and grassroots organizations, but also pretend to be grassroots and “radically anti-fracking.”

First and foremost, these self-appointed NGOs represent and protect the interests of their funders. 350.org and friends successfully take the issues away from the dinner table, where the issues need discussing, and instead, they make the issue about them. Then, after poisoning it, they’ll blame someone else for it. This is narcissism, which flourishes like a cancer within the complex. A complex built on a foundation of whiteness and aversive racism. It is ugly. Perhaps the late George Carlin summarizes the second half of this investigative report far better on stage than in typeface: “It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.”
Anti-fracking campaigners from the US give their own perspective, and warn the UK campaign about those who might pretend to be on our side.

When I start seeing articles posted on an international climate justice listserv from 350.org celebrating NRDC and friends, co-opting MLK (Martin Luther King, Jr.) for their own (branding) purposes and legitimising the Obama tagline "Yes We Can" (language that in turn gives "hope" that citizens may see "a certain young senator from Illinois" re-emerge), with no dissent to be found, it tells me that my good friend and legitimate activist Sandy was right. This Climate Justice Network has become CAN (Climate Action Network) in drag.
