And you sound like one of those people who believe life is a crises. 

I have no problem with recycling, so long as it's cost effective. If you want to because it quiets your guilt feelings send your money in. But, take your hand out of my pocket.

"Green" by market (like TX with its many wind generators): good.

"Green" because a bunch of guilt-ridden Leftists want to force it down everyone's throats: bad.

Say, is that a hand-crank PC/laptop you are using?  Are you typing by candlelight?

What harm was done here, oxygen thieves?

Are you upset because money was given, but wasn't given to you?

Money isn't just 'given' away it comes from someone, that 'someone' is consumers and taxpayers. Or are you foolish enough to think that the AGW scam is going to be paid out of the personal fortunes of CEO's and Al Gore?

You really are clueless, aren't you? In typical liberal fashion you think throwing enough money at a problem is all it takes to fix the problem. Hence my comment about you thinking there is an endless supply of money vs oxygen.

"Do you hear me going on about GW Bush and Airforce 1, and his touring party of 700 personel at the APEC Summit in Sydney?...."

You can't "go on" about that, as someone here (like me) would remind you that Bush's predecessor did the exact same thing-several times-as President.

Here's the military aircraft manifest for Clinton's junket to China:

In addition to AIR FORCE ONE and five other Andrews AFB aircraft, the outbound trip used fourteen C-17s, twelve C-5s, three C-141s, and two C-130s from other bases. In addition, seven KC-10s and thirty-nine KC-135s are providing air-refueling support.

The return trip required an additional ten C-5s and another three KC-135s. It should be noted that these twenty-two C-5s represented one-third of the Air Force's entire operational C-5 fleet.

A point of interest to the civilian public might be that each aging C-5 is capable of carrying six Greyhound buses internally (the equivalent of 132 Greyhound buses in C-5s alone).

Some trip!

"...sometimes I have to reply just to retain credibility." Eyecare, considering who you are talking to, and what she does for a living, your credibility is completely shot to H***.

"...and Europe incluses Australia." Not on any globe I've ever seen. Europe includes Austria, but Australia is its own continent. Here's a hint since you seem to be map challenged: Australia is south of Asia, Europe is west of Asia.

Nobody has said recycling is evil, but it IS over-hyped by the Curry's of the world.  They act like they invented the idea.  The constant do-goodism is very hard to swallow coming from people who, no doubt, are some of the worst offenders.  There is NOTHING wrong with being responsible about how we consume energy and dispose of  our waste.  I don't need anybody's help in that effort.
