Free Trade dogma as a threat to the world's environment
We have heard of how the environment is endangered due to the after-effects of industrial development; for example, there is plenty of concern regarding the melting of the polar ice caps, and the flooding and various climactic changes that could result. Yet, at the same time many of those in power are enthusing over the free trade doctrine, which puts into effect policies which result in the concentration of production in certain localities, and the concentration of productions in a certain few rather than a diversity of methods.
In effect the free trade doctrine says, if product X produced in area Y five thousand miles away through method Z, is one percent cheaper than product X produced in area B, the home area, through method C, then the people in area B are obligated due to free trade theory dogmas (amazing how atheists who consider themselves superior in logical skills take leaps of faith) to import product X made through method Z in area Y five thousand miles away.
The effect of such dogma, is that as opposed to a variety of methods being employed in the world to produce product X, or any given product, the method that is at the present time the cheapest is employed; and, as opposed to the production of product X being spread out throughout the world, the production of product X becomes concentrated in one locality in the world.
Thus the effect of free trade dogma is to unleash forces that are potentially catastrophic to the entire world's environment, forces that when it comes to destruction, do not distinguish between rich and poor, black and white, etc.
Any casual observer can understand how concentrating production of a given product in one locality in the world gives rise to more danger to the environment than the spreading out of the production all over the world, just as there is more danger of a drill applied to the hull of a boat penetrating the hull of the boat when that drill is continuously run in one spot, as opposed to being run a little in several different spots.
Most laymen can also see how when one method of production only is used to produce something, this portends more damage to the environment than several different methods of production, just as when an individual consumes one food only he is more liable to become sick than when he consumes a healthy variety of foods.
Yet still although the danger-to-the-environment factor is basically obvious, the free trade dogmatists insist that a nation is obligated due to dogmas arrived at through atheistic blind faith, to consume what is produced ten thousand miles away, instead of what is produced locally but is one percent more expensive.
