The Black Hole of North Korea at Night |
It's no secret that human
flourishing is a cardinal sin for progressives. This time, they're
setting their sights on light pollution. Environmentalists want to start
darkening the world by turning off electric lights.
For
thousands upon thousands of years, humans were oppressed by darkness.
The ability to provide necessary resources for survival was limited to
the hours that the sun journeyed across the sky. Thankfully, human
imagination, ingenuity, and skill pushed back and provided a way to
light the darkness. The explosion of resources and the constantly rising
standard of living across the globe stand as a testament to the good
works of the men who invented electric light. Of course, all of that
offends progressives and so they want to make it harder to feed
everyone.
The title of a recent NPR article reveals progressives' anti-human agenda: "Earth Is Lit, And That's a Problem."
NPR
complains, "The ever-widening use of artificial lights is making the
nighttime Earth glow increasingly brighter, with the amount of global
light growing about 2 percent each year."
