@August

I agree that population control would be required to succeed in fighting pollution and shortage of resources. Unfortunately not everyone thinks so...India anyone?

However on the rest of your post we will just have to agree to disagree.
I've seen what acid rain has done to our forests and even years later still 3/4 of our trees are sick and weakened. I think we have come to a point where we already have to clean up and the longer we wait the costlier and more difficult it'll get.
I won't deny that there are idiots who are just preaching for the fast buck but when I compare my current environment with pictures of the 70ies or my personal experience with the environment of the DDR when it still existed, then I'm very glad that Germany has decided to get more or less green while still having heavy industry that can compete with the rest of the world (mostly....).
