Mumpower's the word

Carl Mumpower has shared his definition of "envirojacker."

In an e-mail to Dome, the Asheville City Councilman and Republican Congressional candidate gives this explanation for the term, which he apparently coined in a recent press release:

Homo sapiens prone to selective use of facts, extreme views, and unsupported science related to environmental issues. This species is highly resistant to rational, realistic, and scientifically grounded environmental initiative and may, when challenged or denied, behave in an aggressive and destructive manner. There have been reports of associated tendencies toward manipulation and entitlement.
