美国反环境运动初探

Preliminary Research on American Anti-Environmental Movement

美国反环境运动是企业和保守利益集团联合起来对环境运动的反动,目的是削弱公众对环境问题的关注,改变公众对环境问题的看法,推翻妨碍自由市场和企业利润的环境法规。自由主义智囊团、法人资源论者和明智利用运动是反环境运动的主力,它们盗用环境运动的修辞,展开各种策略进行反环境运动,虽然取得政治成功并赢得基层支持,但目的是维护自身的利益,并没有对环境问题提出解决方案,因而不能取代环境运动。

Anti-environmental movement refers to the way that corporations and conservative froups have sought to counter the gains made by environmentalists, to diminish public concern about the environment, to attack environmentalists, and to persuade politicians to be against increased environmental regulation. Resources libertarian think tanks, corporative resourcists and wise use groups are the main forces in the antienvironmental movement. The rhetoric of anti-environmental proponents often draws upon principles of free market environmentalism to protect their interests, but they have no positive programs to solve the environmental probems despite of their political successes and grassroots proponents. Anti-environmental movement cannot replace the environmental movement in the United states.
