Steady Dave they are just trolling. Unfortunately this type of "release" is taken as gospel by many otherwise sentient people. In the Australian context too many of them are in the public service. The context needs to be considered, we generally represent the people of the world whose needs are being met. Members of many of these conservation oriented groups are amoungst the wealthiest, note the celebrities used to promote projects like Olivia Newton Johns reafforest Australia campaign. That less than 25% of Australia was forest under aboriginal permaculture doesnt come into it. Australia actually has more than 25% under forest and the tree density is often unsustainable. The real at risk ecosystems are open woodland and native grassland. The ones that can be preserved with good forest grazing practices. People whos needs are met have no trouble putting millions of hectares of otherwise productive land under carbon sequestering trees to slow climate change. Afer all the change may well threaten their obscene share of the worlds resources. Having said that let me also say that we really must limit our use of resources to what we actually need, waste does no one good nor do practices that ultimately reduce the productive capacity of the renewable resources that we need. My view is simple enough, the amount of resources a person uses is measured by their income, a cap on income limits waste. Redistribution of "excess" income via taxation to pay for public services that ensure an effective lower limit of income for the poor is the most "achievable" method of redustributing income. Not all sustainability types agree with me but its a good way of distinguishing between the "greedy" conservationist (I like my high income lifestyle but do these peasants have to breath so much air) and the genuine conservationist who's political solution includes increased taxes for incomes over double the full time male average. Meanwhile Dave just work away on the practical solutions. Regards from Harry
