Pollution...
The past week seems to have been earmarked by actual common sense entering the world of what was published about the environment.
The Wall Street Journal looks at the silliness of "Green" home-building.
Mark Steyn skewers global warming - again.
The Herald points out the actual value of fertilizers.
Cheat Seeking MIssles points out some important global warming facts.
Holy Coast links to a story about one of the founders of Greenpeace repudiating much that organization has done.
But the story of the week has got to be:
That's right folks - plants - which are supposed to cleanse our atmosphere of the much malaigned "greenhouse gases" - actually produces them!
The moral of the story? Simple. We are not that smart, we do not have nearly as much knowledge about how the world works as we think we do. I need to wax philsophic for a minute.
The bugeoning Christian environmental movement is based in large part, as are all environmental movements, on the presumption that we really know how things work. That presumption is egregious, wrongheaded, and for Christians, sinful. Such presumptions seek to make us God-like. We are not - and we never will be.
