While it may sound  harsh... Noel Gallagher makes some  VALID points.
    
      
Noel Gallagher comments..."environmentalists: Greens are f***ing hippies with no place in the world. They've been telling us for the last 50 years not to use aerosols or the sky's going to fall in. Well - you're the scientists, do something about it. How do you suggest we get 50million Chinese not to have a fridge? Or get 700million Americans to stop using their big stupid cars. The only way its going to happen is if the sky falls in. Until is does, these Greens are wasting their time. I'm glad - because in 50 years time I'll be dead. »       original news      Does this seem "extreme"? or am I being  objective - Pollution & Global warming was "end of world" news during the 60's and 70's... What happened to the generations of people who    cared and loved? They left the future in the hands of politicians and green    groups who told them what to buy and how to act "green" (green washing).
Sound    familiar yet? Just wait ... The ME gen got frustrated nothing happened and bought    5,000lb SUV's to drive to 3,000 sqft homes 40 miles from work in a subdivision    with no forest or trees in sight... got divorced and   doubled the "Eco-Impact".
        Seriously look at history and what is in the news right now... will they still care in 5 years or stop after the next presidential election as they did in the past...
                      Read the "green" news a little, "billions" of dollars being spent... mostly thrown at "pseudo-quick fixes" that ANY objective            environmentalists (a real one) will tell you are not "sustainable".
                                            Equal "billions" are being taken from the "scientists" & regulators that hold the                key to our sustainable future...
 
                 Will "scientists", do something about it? There are far to many "green"  groups & activists...
 
                                        I am proud that I have worked with                     real "scientists", regulators (EPA & DNR)                      during this time who HAVE made a real impact over 20 years.(not climatologists, eco-analysts, activists                      or self proclaimed environmentalists)
 
                         Not because it was "in" or "cool"                          to be green, but because it is the right thing for the                          Environment & People (yes we                          both win).                                                                                 
                                                                               
My                              father recently passed away... hoping that he &                              other scientists would eliminate the environmental                              problems he faced                              in his lifetime, and if we listen to EHS "scientists", regulators ... "we can fix the REAL                              problems facing our nation, the world & the                              environment in MY                              lifetime.
             
                               
                       But, if listen to "greenwashing" we will just look                                back with the disgust of                                                               Noel Gallagher.
