Well, we're on the same page there. Greenpeace etc are total disasters. What most of these types don't realize that it is technical progress+material wealth that preserves the environment. It is the wealthy countries that have things under control - and the poor ones that have the major issues. I'd like to see a market-based environmental movement, concerned about sustainability for Homo Sapiens. But right now, I agree that much of its under the sway of these purists. Btw, I had a huge fight with my husband and over Greenpeace a few years back. He wanted to donate money to them. I said no-way, they are sanctimonious loudmouth socialists. Even worse, they actually have a negative effect on the environment, because they simply piss off too many people. He (at the time) was a bit of a radical on the topic and compared me to Rush. Never ever ever compare me to Rush. He slept on the couch that night.
