Thank you for posting this. It’s the best article I’ve read lately proving that so many of the green fads are just senseless. Our entire modern existence is an ultra complex system which does not necessarily reward “feel good” efforts with the intended results. By the time you run the numbers on any action, you will very likely find you’ve done more harm than good. While I think the evidence shows that being overly fixated on mankind’s carbon emissions is not warranted, general efforts to protect the environment will be most effective through focus on the big picture and broad advancements in technology.

Amen.

I'd like to know the carbon footprint for those exotic lattes, with imported coffee beans (from Brazil, Africa, Indonesia, etc.), that Prius driving bicycle riding self-righteous yuppies are sipping on at Starbucks right now.
