"Going Green" Everytime I hear this phrase a little bit of throw up goes up into my throat. Its just another phrase that was tested countlessly by politicians on mock consituencies.

exactly what is was saying, i personally don't have an opinion, just think that the decision makers need to take a look at the potential negatives and positives.

Well written but i have to disagree. Screw the economy when the planet is in serious need of some tlc. Screw global warming and carbon tax's etc, wether its our fault or not is irrelevant. Life will continue with or without us. Why spend our time bickering about markets. we need a plan for long term survival. The system needs an overhaul.

i think that if money is a reward for people finding pieces of the long term survival puzzle of our species, then people will find those solutions a whole lot faster, if at all.

I'm against 'going green' because we don't know if global warming is our doing, odds are this is just another craze like the global cooling of the 70s. However, assuming we are the cause (as seems to be your stance since it wasn't an argument in your ed), it would be ridiculous to keep with our destructive ways which will fuck us over in the end. I present the following analogy:

You're driving in a race and there is a fallen tree in your path which you can't avoid by staying on the road. Your buddy tells you to drive on the side off road but you tell him "fuck that, I'm not gonna chip the paint on my car by offroading!" and you drive into the tree and collapse a lung and your friend chips a tooth (his favorite tooth!). It seems obvious that chipping the paint isn't as important as not seriously injuring yourself, just like sacrificing a little now is insignificant compared to avoiding the ill effects of global warming later.
