Realistic Environmentalism

Lets get real about our environment.  Humans are here to stay.  The world will never be like it used to be.  Extinction is part of nature even when it is brought about by the domination of a species.  HOWEVER, that doesn't mean we pave the world and to hell with the other inhabitants of this limited world.

All environmental decisions need to be weighed against the long term affects.  Environmental impact statements need to address all aspects of a project, not just the adverse effects on the existing environment, but also the long term effects of not proceeding with the project. 

Can we maintain pristine wilderness indefinitely?  Not without serious population control and all that implies to our economy.  Should we drill for oil in those wildernesses or should we allow the economy to suffer while we try to develop alternative fueled vehicles?  Should we put large amounts of money into high polluting electric vehicles because we don't see the pollution at the electric plant or should we put our money into realistic research for development of future fuels such as hydrogen or others?  Lets take the emotions out of it and make logical decisions that are the best for people as well as the animals.  Lets keep our environment clean and healthy but recognize that there are going to be some irreversible changes simply because we have to maintain quality life for people.

Lets get to the real cause of our environmental problems -- over population!
