[In support of T. F. Stern's recent article.]
I believe people are barking up the wrong tree.
Why do we start bitching about going Green now?
We should have started such efforts doggedly once we realised that we will run out of oil in 2050 thereabouts.
We are pathetic! We don't even realise that success comes at a price - a price that is beyond our ken to repay.
What I propose is simple - in our final glory years, burn! Harvest and burn all the bloody oil there is on planet earth. Let Earth burn in the wonderful atmosphere of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Let the temperatures rise and the airconditioners go at full blast. Let the Arctic ice caps melt. Let the water levels rise. Let the plates rumble with unabashed glee and welcome the cleansing tsunamis with open arms.
Rejoice! For after that, when we have nothing left, the world will correct the imbalances by itself.
We, yes we, will form the seed of the new oil deposits for the new world. Our children, yes them, will survive the harshest ice ages. Our grandchildren will rediscover new trade routes, our great grandchildren will start colonising the backwaters and erode the traditions of the very people they view as different from them.
One of our descendent generations will go to war and some nation will reinvent the nuclear weapon to use on the perceived perpetrator of war.
We, yes we, will eventually be all used up and our children of millienia in the future will come full circle when the earth next corrects itself.
So, doggone it! I'm living life in abandon. No one can stop me. As I have always believed, the world will only get better after it hits rock bottom. We are still a long way off!

The part the environmental whackos would have you omit from the discussion is that, as you stated, "the world will correct the imbalances by itself".
The natural systems, those which never get brought out by the whackos, are constantly at work. The miniscule efforts of the human race to alter an eco-system which they can only guess at is folly.
One volcanic eruption equals or passes all the so called damage we humans do, one solar flare up heats the earth much more than all the cars and factories combined; but the whackos don't like to mention facts, they are into alarming a duped public.
Oh, I almost forgot, turn up the stereo and use more electricity to enjoy the holidays. Merry Christmas Eugene.
Its highly unlikely we will continue to use oil to operate our steam turbines in the future.
People are beginning to discover that no matter where you are on earth, you will always find heat from the ground if you dig deep enough. The challenge is now to find ways to tap the heat from the ground.
