It has been shown already two years ago, or earlier?, that the long-term costs for inaction surpass that of adequate action by at least a factor of 10.

I knew a tree hugger would want to try and put nature back into the main focus sooner or later. I can guarantee that hardly anyone gives a crap, besides its probably tree hugger hype anyway.

Who needs oxygen when you've got free markets?

Damn, you beat me to it. I read that "tree hugger" comment and thought about space. What do you think we will be taking when we start to colonize space? Trees, vegetables, etc. It's sustainable. The biodomes will NOT be comprised of pig farms from America. They will be the hippiest things you ever saw.
