Approximately 40,000 environmental wackos will be gathering in South Africa for this year's Earth Summit, where world leaders will discuss how best to go about saving the planet from certain doom. Reuters quotes Reverend Desmond Lesajane, chief organizer of the forum, as saying that "there should be a clearly identified funding mechanism. World leaders must answer the question, 'who will fund what actions'." Lesajane adds that implementation should be compulsory.

The Greens seem a bit hypocritical, burning all that jet fuel, and creating all that waste in an effort to push their environmental beliefs on other people. They are also arrogant in thinking that people can even have such an impact on the planet. First of all, the planet isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Second, when the Earth is ultimately destroyed, billions of years from now, we probably won't be around to see it. I'm not anti-environmentalist, but they need to tell it like it is. Efforts to improve our living conditions here on Earth should be labeled as such, and the benefits should be properly weighed against the costs. Not everyone thinks that forcing people to pay $5.00 for a gallon of gas in an effort to control their behavior is necessarily an improvement in our living conditions.
