So when are you selling your Saab and turning off your air conditioner? How many trees did you plant this week? It's easy to point to this side of the Atlantic and say "that way lies madness" when all of us who live amid the comforts of a technological civilization share of the blame. One link from the article you cite shows the European Union second with a bullet on the evil polluters list. Might also want to follow the link to this gem: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/1500558.stm A Danish environmentalist and former Greenpeace member says "the Kyoto treaty would cost $4 trillion to adopt, but only postpone a 2C temperature rise by a mere six years," and "It's sensible not to trust industry, but we should be equally wary of the green movement." I'd gladly vote for a ban on SUVs myself, but there are too many deluded soccer moms out there who think they can only be safe in ponderous gas slurpers with a high rollover rate. Meanwhile I'l ltry to do my bit by keeping my lawn-mowing to an absolute minimum. Remember, beer is a renewable resource.
