I've seen this argument in countless places. This argument has been made by a documentary called "Mine your own business", Senator James Inhofe, and a former Reader's Digest staff writer Robert Bidinotto.
| "Expanding basic necessities like running water and electricity in the developing world are seen by many in the green movement as a threat to the planet’s health that must be avoided." - Senator James Inhofe, 9/25/2006 |
Many call the climate change science a "hatred of modernity". While I can't comment on the environment movement, this simply does not apply to climate scientists. Scientists like their toys too. In fact, all they do is develop technology. They are driven by the urge to discover the unknown. The Nobel physicist Richard Smalley has been calling for an Apollo Energy program. He want us to develop a wide range of technology like the ones listed on this website. He wants the energy to be cheap, clean and plentiful. Richard Smalley wants to bring everyone in the world up to the US's standard of living. A feat which is impossible to accomplish with fossil fuels. In the Discovery Channel episode: Global Warming, What You Need To Know James Hansen says that fixing global warming won't hurt the economy. He says it will create a lot of high-tech and high paying jobs.
