“Galling Green”

  • Posted by:

Boston Globe curmudgeon-in-residence Alex Beam gets very angry at the scolders in the environmental movement. And we agree. No one likes to hear that their lifestyle would take 5.8 earths to sustain. Also, no one really believes that is true. And, no one has 5 billion dollars to only use wind blown wood to build their huge mansion that is heated by a pipeline directly to the earth’s core and cooled with ice that will then be added to the Antarctica to help stop global warming. Not many people at least. The main point: don’t yell at us. It makes us defensive and unhelpful.
