While I believe you will find few that would argue on the side of environmental destruction, the current fervor over climate change smacks of alarmism. There may be, in fact, a slight warming trend on Earth now, but the question of man's influence on this is highly debatable. Many people fall victim to anecdotal stories of localized change, but we are talking about a global envirnment that works at an entirely different scale and timeframe. The world is always either warming or cooling, and landmass are in a constant change regardless of man. The radical elements of environmental protection demand radical re-structuring of social structures and institutions with often shallow concern for the social repercussions. Furthermore, these demands are often enequally targetted towards American concerns which, to me, indicates another egenda entirely. There is much power to be gained if you are in the position to be forcing people to buy certain products are to engage in certain behaviors. There is nothing wrong with being envirnmentally friendly, but I prefer a sensible market-driven non-alarmist approach that doesn't involve governmental decree and subsequent loss of far-to-precious freedom.
