All I needed to read.

That's too bad. In this case, the message is more important than the messenger.

I won't debate that there are environmental issues to be faced, however some things are hard to bite into. For instance:

It found that an estimated 70 percent of the world's tropical coasts have been developed and projected that 90 percent would be developed by the year 2030.

I find this hard to believe.

If the UN wants to pass 'international legislation' to ban development, keep it in the 3rd world dumps. They do not govern the United States.
