Believers tend to look at the problem like Marx by identifying capitalism as a system of exploitation. Gives them the right to blame 'them' wether they be unbelievers, big oil, big pharma, big government, big toasters, whatever. They say we the wise and informed accuse you of destroying the plant and you must be stopped repent and believe! heheh

But I dont see it that way its not just capitalism, government or big corporations and unbelievers. It is we the consumer which includes even the zealous believer in climate change. Both the pious and unbeliever are prone to excessiveness, materialism, waste and a destructive drive to obtain. We cry over the Amazon but we always have handy someone else to blame. Because oh how we do love our steaks(deforestation for ranching) and of course we must have our technolgy like computers and internet to tell others how much we care, cell phones and precious metals (mining) and where would be without cheap fuels for our cars, boats, planes and heating (drilling).

"Trying to reduce environmental pollution without reducing consumerism is like combatting drug trafficking without reducing the drug addiction." - Dr. Jorge Majfu

and we all know how great the war on drugs is going
