There might be some temporary positives somewhere. But when you're tampering with a complex machine you don't understand properly, you're more likely to wreck it and fix it. People concerned about the environment view the Earth as having an ecology that has reached a delicate equilibrium over millions of years of evolution, which is now being disturbed willy-nilly by people out to make a fast buck.

While the green viewpoint, therefore, contains a lot of truth, until recently it has almost all been overblown, sentimental, and anti-free-enterprise. With the ozone layer, and now global warming, the ecology movement is finally right about something - human effects on the environment are finally hitting a global scale, not just causing local effects that are only significant if they happen where people are living, like smog.

They're still wrong about the solutions. Solve global warming without destroying the world economy? Easy - switch to nuclear power, which the greenies _really_ hate.

Don't make the same mistake as they're making - ignoring science for the sake of ideology.
