Can anyone give me some examples of the lies they claim the environmental community are guilty of?
All I hear about is how the environmentalists constantly lie and cheat and the entire last 30 years has been nothing but lies and half truths from them.
What are some examples of these lies?

One lie is that human beings and our vehicles, factories, ect. are causing global warming and choking our planet with carbon dioxide (hence the "carbon footprint" that is all the rage now). Here are some facts that contradict that:
There was an Ice Age and it warmed up, there was a Mini Ice Age just 500 years ago and it has been warming up ever since. The Industrial Revolution was not around during those periods.
NASA reports that because of Solar Flares the Sun is the hottest it has been in over 100 years. There are no cars on the sun.
Global warming is causing ice to melt on Mars. There are no cars on Mars.
Thousands and thousands of studies and experiments prove that more carbon dioxide produces better fruits, vegetables, trees and nearly any sort of plant life.
Most of the temperature increase happened before 1940 (Before most carbon dioxide was released by cars and factories)
Soooo... ask Al GORE about his Cadillac Escalade that he drives to the bank, laughing at all the money he is making from his fear mongering tactics.

Here's a great link to the wild predictions and outright lies put forth on the original Earth Day. The biggest culprit is Paul Ehrlich. And example of his tripe:
“Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make,” he confidently declared in an interview with then-radical journalist Peter Collier in the April 1970 Mademoiselle. “The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.”
