Here's a fun thought experiment for the green crowd. Imagine, for a moment, that scientists determine that cancer is, in fact, just a complex allergic reaction to dolphins, and that the only way to be completely rid of it is to completely exterminate dolphins from the earth.
Would you do it?
It may seem like a silly question, until you realize that up to 20 million third world children may have died of malaria since DDT was banned under the spurious theory that it caused thinning in the eggshells of wild birds.
20 million. Bird shells.
The truth is, most environmentalism is rooted in a deep-seated hatred of humankind and human progress. If solar ever becomes a viable energy source capable of sustaining a vibrant manufacturing economy, it will be immediately demonized. Bet on it.
