Actually in 1978 We were told by ecologists that New Orleans and parts of Florida would be under water by the year 2000.....last I checked it is just so much alarmism to gain attention and cash donations. Oh and we still have as much rain forest as there was 12,000 years ago...it was supposed to be gone in 1999.
My point here is not to suggest we not try to be environmentally sound...What I want to suggest is that we approach the issues with sound scientific methodology and not media centric extremeism.
Scientists were shocked when they found a "hole" in the Ozone layer and immediately suggested it was mans fault. The fact is, they detected the hole because it became possible to do that science, the hole quite probably has been there all along.
If anyone is worried that our cars and SUV's are poluting the atmosphere...stop worrying, according to the scientists we will be out of oil in 30 years. (of course they said that 30 years ago too....)
Don't let the media hype spook you.
