Wouldn't have put it like that myself - the man has a perfectly valid point
(apart from the last bit as none of us will probably live long enough to
see
the day when it actually runs out and the faeces really does hit the rotary
air motion oscillator).

Problem is people are trying to prevent something happening that *WILL*
happen anyway - it's just "when?". Sure, we're not helping things
but no
matter what we do we cannot stop this rock that we live on doing whatever
it
is going to do - we're just hanging on and enjoying the ride.

There's a lot of mileage to be had on all sides from "the
environment" but
at the end of the day they're(*) not really going to make that much
difference to the outcome whatever they do - but they'll have made
themselves look like they're trying their best. ;-)

(* They being anyone you care to put forward with an environmental agenda -
political parties, tree huggers, lentil eaters, flatulent hippos etc.)
