Its easy to deny this on teh internet, a little harder in reality where dollars can be counted

Whats with the BS ragging on this? Corn prices have already risen in the USA partly due to increased biofuel efforts.

SMAC go it right again...Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez DávilaComment

green issues are increasingly being hijacked by those in power as an excuse to bilk us out of more money, and interfere with our lives. so it's no surprise that a certain level of cynicism towards 'environmentalism' is developing."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

I don't buy the argument "save a tree" for the environment. Trees are an industrial crop, that are harvested and replanted. It's like saying "drink less beer" to save some straws.Originally posted by MikeH

But if they were all as developed as we are, the earth's resources would be depleted almost instantaneously. Fact of the matter is that the world's grossly overpopulated at the moment. Maybe technology can provide us with more breathing space, but today it remains a bit far-fetched that technology will give us an answer to all our environmental problems.Originally posted by Cort Haus
Seeing as the people who are most likely to die from climate change are in third world countries which lack industrialisation and infrastructure to deal with the effects of change, this might suggest that they need more development, not less.
If we want them to become more developed, we in the developed world have to be willing to pay the price.

To many Green-types follow a form of moronic ludditism known as Deep Ecology. You know them, the naive fools who think technology in and of itself is the problem and thus can't be a solution and that the only real solution is to live like the Amish. Technogaian Green-types like myself detest that luddite crap.Comment
