More CO2 is really good, soon we can grow bananas in Finland. The forest already grows faster than ever, although there are some new deseases and viruses, pests getting a foothold from the south. The market for pestizide-free, not-sperm-count-decreasing food is also getting better, a really good investment is also the sources of one of the few cadmium free phosphates. Nothing like those (frmr) guys handling thr banana hormones. Too bad with the droughts,floods, inverted weather patterns in Australia and around the equator, but up here we really like it all, north of it all. And if the africa-floridian energy pump ever turns wrong at england, we will have ample warning to move there, lots of forest to burn while they do not. (similar trick as in the 800s) Ilmarinen Having invested in energy saving processes for some 30-40 years also helps, industrial as well as zoning, transportation systems, although the japanese are better. (you are obviously also familiar with how the utility networks here in the north need to be more robust than in the south??) Btw, that Hobbit was made to speak some shamanistic finnish, pore gnome in the wrong place.

We are not making it better. See any strip mine or clear cut forest in the developing world. You might like to think we are making it better everywhere. But I can point to many places where environmental degradation is horrendous. Near Matamoros the environmental refuse from the maquiladoras is beyond description. I'm sure you've heard of the New River. But of course, sprinkle the fairy dust of capitalism on it and maybe it won't stink. Its a nice argument you make. Too bad their are little "facts" all over the world that disprove it.
