Now, when I say environmentalism, I'm dealing with the rainforest and what not. How do you guys feel about it? What's your stance on this topic?
If there has already been a thread about this, then whatever. |

You're definitely in the minority if you're arguing that we don't need to limit—or can even increase—our CO2 emissions. There are not a significant number of scientists arguing that position.
Most of the "mistakes" in "environmentalism" you cited—extermination of wolves in Yellowstone, or preventation of forest fires—are also not done in the name of environmentalism. It's not environmentalists trying to stop forest fires to exterminate wolves in Yellowstone, so I'm not sure why you're using that as a reason to stop trying to maintain a healthy environment. |
