Interesting that you invoke scientific terms like homeostasis as a reasonable idea, but yet when there is very good evidence for human-made climate change based on exactly the same principles as any other scientific idea.

You claim to base your point of view on reason, not emotion, but reading your blog it’s quite clear that you’re going with your gut feeling after all.

Also, your (irrational) argument is based solely on the threat of climate change. But this is just one part of the environmental crisis. There is indisputible evidence of rapid species extinction and habitat loss comparable to that of global mass extinctions in prehistory. This alone should be reason enough to stop and think about what our consumption is doing to the planet.

There is also a massive body of evidence that globally, pollution levels are not falling. Ever been to the Niger Delta? (oops, forgot, only America, correction, the United States of America, is worth seeing).

Your problem appears to be not that you don’t approve of environmentalism. It’s that you don’t approve of it when it threatens to effect your lifestyle in any way at all. That attitude IS incompatible with trying to make the world a cleaner, healthier place to live, for all life, and is a rejection of reason, and deeply rooted in emotion.
