Good reason to back HIGW -- follow the money.

How silly. How about you follow the real money?

"Four books eventually brought me to the flipping point. Archaeologist Brian Fagan's The
Long Summer (Basic, 2004) explicates how civilization is the gift of a temporary period of
mild climate. Geographer Jared Diamond's Collapse (Penguin Group, 2005) demonstrates how
natural and human-caused environmental catastrophes led to the collapse of civilizations.
Journalist Elizabeth Kolbert's Field Notes from a Catastrophe (Bloomsbury Publishing,
2006) is a page-turning account of her journeys around the world with environmental
scientists who are documenting species extinction and climate change unmistakably linked
to human action. And biologist Tim Flannery's The Weather Makers (Atlantic Monthly Press,
2006) reveals how he went from being a skeptical environmentalist to a believing activist
as incontrovertible data linking the increase of carbon dioxide to global warming
accumulated in the past decade."

Al Gore might be the pied piper of HIGW, but I can't believe he takes
himself seriously when his "carbon footprint" is so huge.

On what do you base your mistaken belief?

Your willingness to damage the environment is your willingness
to harm the horses and humans of the future.
