Yes, Environmentalists Are Sincere

MarcoPolo, an ultra-conservative reader notes:  “My frustration with mom and apple pie environmental statements is my suspicion that the authors have no real interest in the environment, but are using environmental rhetoric to advance old, failed socialist political ideology.”

I do believe that unbridled capitalism is a quick route to the end of our civilization, whether that comes from fire or ice. (I’ve provided a link for younger readers, most of whom no longer read poetry and won’t get the reference there.)

The other part of your statement is completely wrong, or at least 99% so: “the authors” do, in fact, have a sincere interest in the environment.

Really?  I’m guessing you have a bet with a buddy that you can keep this discussion going for more than 100 comments on a single thread, or some such. I can’t believe that a person of your background and intelligence really believes what you wrote there.
