As long as we insist on being warm in the winter and also believe that the earth can sustain increasing billions of human inhabitants the problem will continue to grow -- only the rate might be changed imperceptibly by anything we may try to do about it. It makes no sense at all for 300,000,000 Americans to become tree-huggers if 5,000,000,000 Asians, Africans, and others are doing all they can to increase their own material comforts, and with little or no regard for the pollution that results. Americans consumes nearly 30 times as much energy as Africans, 10 times as much as East Asians, 5 times the world average. Some (all treehugggers, no doubt) would like to see us meet the developing world somewhere in the middle. But, I suspect you are among those Americans who believe the only solution is superior firepower... Marc |
