Environmentalists tend to mistakenly think there are unintended consequences of their pet projects. No matter what we do, humans are going to have an effect on the environment. The best way to reduce our environmental footprint is to promote economic freedom. It seems counterintuitive, but countries with more economic freedom are less likely to cut down all their trees, pollute their rivers, and kill all their animals.
Well the thing is, much of these so called "green" things they are pushing are actually bad for the environment. Take electric car batteries. The lithium mining is really bad for the local environment where it is mined.
Exactly! Sorry, my last comment I meant they think there are *no* unintended consequences. But you are right, the “green” solutions are not always great for the environment!
Fossil fuels get such a bad rap, but they are a plentiful, natural substance that when burned releases a gas essential for plant life. I find Patrick Moore’s argument interesting that burning fossil fuels is actually good for the Earth.
At least CO2 is good for the plants! There are some fuels like Diesel that emit pretty bad pollutions and I don't think those fumes are ideal for humans to breath.
