Ok… first of all let me say that I do love the earth and care for the environment. I believe that we should have a government agency that watches and protects the environment from companies that overly pollute. I do everything I can as a business owner and an individual to be a good steward to the environment and I think that everyone else who can should.
The thing that I don’t agree with is the policies put forth that create human misery in the name of environmentalism. Look at what is going on in California right now with a little minnow on the endangered species list. They have cut off the water supply to hundreds of farms and homes in California in the name of the minnow…. They have already lost 80,000 jobs in that area because they cannot farm without the irrigation. I really see this as a tragedy and the government and environmentalist just don’t… (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twd59PrqCNg)
Other things like drilling for oil domestically, there is no real good reason not to be and it’s creating higher prices and lots of other side effects on people that we just don’t think about.
I don’t like the fact that Governments of the world have latched onto “Global Warming” and created a crisis out of it, including the US, when there are more scientist now that disagree with the original finding than there are that agree with them. People jump on that bandwagon, even with a good heart, but don’t really see what misery their policies inflict on humankind. I just don’t like seeing it…
But anyway, that’s me and a little bit of my opinion on that subject :) hope I didn’t offend you directly or anything… and know that I could have probably gone on for pages, I was trying to keep it short…
