Isn't arguing against living cleaner in terms of the fuel we burn kind of like arguing that the sheets don't need changing 'cause their not wet on my side?
Seems to me like we should be looking for cleaner ways to power our society because not doing so makes the air foul. That makes sense to me even if there is no other valid reason for doing so.
Before the environmental protection laws of the 70's there were days in Denver CO that kids couldn't go outside to play because he air was brown. (No link required... I was there.)
Genesis Chapter 2 - God gave Adam two things to do: Name the Animals and Tend the Garden. (Hey, just because I'm not a believer, doesn't mean I can't appreciate the plethora of cool things mentioned in The Bible....)
Outside of baseball, one out of two is a piss-poor record.

Got Links?
You must offer what you ask for, or admit hypocrisy now.
I don't care about your christian mythology, that has no weight on my life and never will. What I do care about is science here, this topic specifically, and the science as a whole does not support the environut contentions, only one tiny part of science does if you ignore the rest of it.
Back the truck up a second K.K. - I am not bringing religious mythology into the discussion, I'm saying that as a species, we are doing a piss-poor job of tending the garden. Whether it's because God asked us to or just because it's the right thing to do for future generations, we should tend the garden, right? Oops, my bad... I suppose I shouldn't just assume you care about the air we breathe and the water in our eco-system.
Let's start there. I'll ask.
Do you care? If not we should just end this and part ways as friends who agree to disagree on the environment.

So why can't we come to a middle ground where we also care about the survival of our own species? The planet will always retain the ability to heal, and we cannot drive all life extinct, that's impossible. However they are using this environmentalism garbage to decrease the chances of our survival, not increase. Perfect example are the low energy bulbs, they contain highly toxic chemicals, ones which we were pushing to have banned, but they conned everyone into thinking that decreasing energy usage will decrease pollution .... the reality is that it only changes the type of pollution and poses a bigger threat to us, the consumer, and gives one company huge profits.
