There is nothing wrong with cleaning up pollution. The U.S. and other industrialized countries have come a long way over the last century. There was a time when creeks and rivers were seen as handy, natural sewer systems that would carry away all kinds of waste oil, sludge, tailings, and what have you. <br /> <br />But there is a larger political agenda that attaches itself to environmentalism. That agenda seeks to level the disparity between the industrialized countries and the third world by taking from the former and giving it to the latter. The advocates of that agenda will tell you that anthropologists have discovered that societies with less material comforts have more contented lives. Thus they see the third world is seen as being authentic while the industrialized nations are seen as greedy. Their solution to the energy crisis is to reduce the material standard of living for the most advanced countries for the benefit of the less advanced countries. <br /> <br />There is much to doubt about the science behind the theory of global warming. There is just barely enough data to establi***hat the climate is warming. Beyond that, it is impossible to determine how much warming will occur or what its effect will be. Beyond that, there is no proof that mankind is causing the warming even though it is the underlying assumption that is being used to demand a change in lifestyles in order to remedy the problem. <br /> <br />But in the largest view of the theory of global warming, the science is beside the point. Even climate change is beside the point. The point of global warming is political. It is a political agenda, which is empowered by the made up premise that carbon dioxide is a pollutant. Think of that every time you exhale. <br />
