The annoying thing to me about American left environmentalism is ignoring huge and immediate problems while focusing on pretend or disputable ones. There is a big problem with early menses among girls in the country, which probably has an environmental cause. We are putting plastics into the seas, which cause huge problems for marine life. The oil spill was handled poorly by the governement. Yet we spend (tens? hundreds?) of billions on pretend global warming with fake science to back it up. It’s freakish.
Just like PETA focusing on the chicken “holocaust” and anti fur drives.
Enviros who castigate Americans while not quite giving a hoot about endangered species or habitat loss.
And if we wanted to do have a global enviro project, that huge island of plastic gathering in the southern great ocean would be a great candidate for vacuuming out of the ocean.
That is the whole point. The Greens really are not that green. Most everything they touch actually seems to worsen the environmental problems, especcially over things they purport to resolve - http://myweb.wwu.edu/~zaferan/369%20dumb%20growth%20article.pdf.
