Environmental peudo-science mumbo-jumbo
I am all for recycling and reducing pollution from a moral standpoint: it IS something we should do. What I dislike is the so-called scientific experts touting global warming and other issues allegedly caused by man.

I say allegedly because in the 1960's through the 1970's, the "scientific experts" warned of a coming ICE AGE and blamed mankind for it. Their solution was to adopt more socialistic policies and blame America. Check http://www.time.com/time/printout/0,8816,944914,00.html if you have never heard of this before.

Present day, these same groups tout "global warming" - the opposite claim of their previous failed campaign. There end result is the same, however: we are all doomed and must adopt less capitalistic and more socialistic policies AND America is bad.

I just don't trust these enviro-nutballs any more. It seems to me that they are trying to make money from scaring people about what could be, and when that fails, they choose another disaster.

In the computer world, we experienced this for a time with the SCO/Linux fiasco and also saw Microsoft use it to further add fud to the pile. We don't need any more FUD from anyone, including companies or groups like Climate Counts.
