Question Earthority!

“In their 2004 essay ‘The Death of Environmentalism,’ activists Michael Schellenberger and Ted Nordhaus famously declared, ‘We have become convinced that modern environmentalism, with all of its unexamined assumptions, outdated concepts and exhausted strategies, must die so that something new can live.’ What killed environmentalism? Man-made global warming. The pair argued that the problem of global warming is too big to be handled by green incrementalism. Switching to bioethanol and compact fluorescent lighting simply won’t do. Something much bigger is needed. And they argued that modern environmentalism was not up to the task.” (11/27/07)
