He is beyond contempt. Another in the long list of those whose actions support my observation that they'll be conveniently dead before they can be fully called to account. Stupid old fool.

And it's not like you need to be an environmentalist to think climate change is an important issue, anyway. But these kinds of simplified caricatures of political & ethical opinions do the rounds in some of the internet echo chambers. I'm half expecting the "environmentalists are anti-humanists" one to pop up. Well, yeah. And it’s not like you need to be an environmentalist to think climate change is an important issue, anyway.

Besides it is kind of pointless to assert that the planet is resilient. 'Habitability' would seem to be a more relevant concern. Yeah, that was what I thought.

(Of course evolution is observed fact). So why do you believe in this theory, when you don't believe in the theory of AGW? Both are based on scientific evidence. It seems that you don't really understand science at all! Isn’t Darwinism another theory Steve Wrathall? (Of course evolution is observed fact).

'Ecosystems being self-correcting' does not lie at the heart of Darwinism. What on earth do you mean?

Deep-green environmentalism is based on the opposite: the assertion that nature is a delicate flower that will be pushed to "collapse" by humans (when did we stop being part of nature?) VG is absolutely right to point out the contradiction between green ideology and the facts of the environment's resilience.
