Thanks for the url, Paul. Patrick Moore seems to be an environmental ship
of reason in a sea of rancor. Someone on this list recently asked me to
explain what I meant by being turned off by the actions of so-called
environmentalists. Read the Moore interview and you pretty much read my
position, except that my memory covers even more years. Paul Ehrlich wrote
The Population Bomb in the sixties and I thought I was serving the world by
giving speeches on the subject. How embarrassing. If Ehrlich's predictions
had been accurate, many of us would have starved by now.

I am exhausted of doomsayers. I am today impressed by those who say, "Look
here what I have done and how much good it has created and here is how you
can do it, too."
