Most of the current crop of environmentalists just don't like people and think American are the worst people. Some of the measures have been good, caring about the planet isn't a bad thing, but we've gone way past the point of diminishing returns.

Totally agree. The wealthier the society is, the more it can spend on niceties. If you focus on the niceties, you kill the golden goose. I scoff at ALL the "entitlements" that are packaged as rights (I include enviromental issues a different view into the same issue). How can anyone declare somthing an absolute right for which a robust economy is required for funding?
