I could dispute at least 1/2 of this dour little prick's comments. But I won't bother.

I agree with some of this depressing diatribe, but like Reagan, I have more optimism. The Internet has make information freely available to the world, making it hard to hide the truth (over time), unless you live in a Stalinist country like N.Korea. Science still continues to change the world. Within 100 years fossil fuels will be virtually unnecessary for energy generation. More people are living in countries with some degree of free trade, private enterprise and democracy than ever in history. The environment will survive. Countries like China and India will eventually figure out that bad water and bad air kills.
