RE:"Environmental issues are one area where government intervention has been proven essential."

If you received the PM about about my background you'd probably think I agree with you. Well, in some cases.
On the other hand, the government has done more than its fair share of screwing up the environment. Take the Army Corp of Engineers...they list of their screwups is a mile long. Then we have to pay to fix it...
Or maybe we should consider the nuclear waste dumping our government has participated in...
Or perhaps the introduction of exotic plants...many of which we are having to pay dearly to eradicate.

I think the government may be better at reacting that proacting.

No doubt that 35 years from now, we will all get together on the tropical island of Greenland, and say the same thing about global warming.

Don't be so hasty! Is a little climate change really that bad? And don't tell me about flooding, it's way overrated.
