Of course misery means nothing. Remember the massive malaria outbreaks after banning DDT? I'm not suggesting that efficiet albeit somewhat environmentally-unfriendly products are necessarily the end-all, be-all. However, what I AM suggesting is that the environmental movement is so politicized that it DANGEROUSLY and irresponsibly rushes towards any alternative with little thought for unintended consequences (although, the conspiracy part of my brain often muses that there are probably a few extremists that covet nothing more than wiping out the third world).
