From Vladimir Lenin to Saul Alinsky, leftists are unparalleled masters of the art of victory through hoodwinking: Defeating opponents by fooling them into false agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Owning the battlefield in this war starts with controlling the language. We\u2019ve seen this play out in the debate over abortion access, with pro-choice activists&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/capitalresearch.org\/article\/left-wing-environmentalists-trying-to-redefine-pro-life\/\">redefining<\/a>&nbsp;\u201cpro-life\u201d to mean anything&nbsp;but&nbsp;the conviction that life begins at conception\u2014and swindling unwitting Christians into their ranks.<\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019s spreading to the debate over climate change, with environmental activists claiming there\u2019s nothing \u201cpartisan\u201d about their one-sided campaign to fundamentally transform America. Radicals, socialists, and authoritarians know that global warming offers them the best chance to weaponize Big Government and dictate where Americans live and work, what they drive, eat, and buy, and even what beliefs they\u2019re allowed to hold\u2014all through fear.<\/p>\n<p>Truth-loving skeptics are all that stand in their way. So what better way to defeat them than by undermining the skeptics\u2019 unity with false promises?<\/p>\n<p>Meet the \u201ceco-Right,\u201d the collection of lobbying, litigation, and activist nonprofits that identify themselves as free market yet who have bought the Left\u2019s argument that the Earth is getting dangerously hot and we\u2019re to blame. Groups like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.influencewatch.org\/political-party\/clearpath-action-fund\/\">ClearPath<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.influencewatch.org\/non-profit\/citizens-for-responsible-energy-solutions-cres\/\">Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions<\/a>, and the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.influencewatch.org\/non-profit\/climate-leadership-council\/\">Climate Leadership Council<\/a>&nbsp;disagree over specific policies\u2014some want a devastating carbon tax to reduce emissions, others want federal subsidies for expensive lithium batteries\u2014but all want skeptical Republicans to compromise with uncompromising leftists on their global warming policies.<\/p>\n<p>By doing so they threaten to undermine both affordable energy in America and the future of the conservative movement\u2014which is why they\u2019re often funded by the likes of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.influencewatch.org\/person\/george-soros\/\">George Soros<\/a>&nbsp;as well as the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.influencewatch.org\/non-profit\/ford-foundation\/\">Ford<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.influencewatch.org\/non-profit\/william-and-flora-hewlett-foundation\/\">Hewlett Foundations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>My colleagues and I at the Capital Research Center first broke the news on the secret liberal mega-donors bankrolling the eco-Right in order to rebrand radical environmentalism as \u201cconservative.\u201d Our new report,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/capitalresearch.org\/article\/rise-of-the-eco-right\/\">Rise of the Eco-Right<\/a>, compiles years of research and investigative reporting to expose the funders, leadership, and lobbying of the eco-Right, exposing a web of overlapping boards and shared donors in service to a destructive and cynical agenda.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve studied the professional Left for decades and are all too familiar with activists\u2019 use of deception and misdirection to camouflage their agenda to the casual glance. Unlike Activism Inc., we believe that Americans should be free from fearmongering to listen to arguments from both sides and come to their own conclusions in the global warming debate.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/capitalresearch.org\/article\/rise-of-the-eco-right\/\">Rise of the Eco-Right<\/a>&nbsp;aims to make it clear that climate-conscious conservatives cannot compromise with the Left because activists aren\u2019t interested in anything less than a \u201cgreen\u201d socialist revolution.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t take my word for it\u2014that\u2019s the crux of an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/viewer?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.influencewatch.org%2Fapp%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F12%2FGreen-New-Deal-Support-Letter-to-Congress-11.2019.pdf\">open letter<\/a>&nbsp;to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) signed by 263 activist groups in November 2019, urging Congress to pass the Green New Deal\u2014arguably the most sweeping legislation ever proposed in America\u2014to combat \u201cincreasing income\/wealth inequality and rising white nationalism and neo-fascism\u201d in America.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s environmentalists are more interested in \u201cenvironmental racism\u201d and \u201crestitution for Black and Indigenous farmers\u201d than the environment, and they\u2019re no longer hiding it behind the fig leaf of saving the planet from greenhouse gases.<\/p>\n<p>Recall the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/magazine\/wp\/2019\/07\/10\/feature\/how-saikat-chakrabarti-became-aocs-chief-of-change\/\">explanation<\/a>&nbsp;that Green New Deal author Saikat Chakrabarti gave to the&nbsp;Washington Post: \u201cDo you guys think of [the Green New Deal] as a climate thing? Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the bottom line: carbon taxes, \u201cgreen\u201d tech subsidies, and greenhouse gas pledges will never be enough for Big Green because the debate isn\u2019t really&nbsp;about&nbsp;those things, but power. Activists know this, which is why they\u2019ve abandoned these \u201cmarket-friendly\u201d proposals for the ultimate prize: the utopia of socialized medicine, federal jobs for everyone, slavery reparations, and more.<\/p>\n<p>The eco-Right offers the Left a backdoor for the kind of statist policies that conservatives would never support\u2014if they weren\u2019t falsely labeled. It\u2019s a siren\u2019s song that promises free market answers to climate change but will only result in tyranny. Conservatives, you have nothing to gain and everything to lose by listening to the eco-Right\u2014so don\u2019t give up the ship.<\/p>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this opinion piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Hayden Ludwig is a senior investigative researcher at the Capital Research Center in Washington, DC.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there\u2019s one thing the Left knows cold, it\u2019s deception.
