… SUVs are a symptom of the real environmental problem (if you want to call it that), which is humans, as I’ve pointed out previously. If every couple on Earth limited themselves to one child, the population of our planet would drop to roughly 1.5 billion over the next century (according to Alan Weisman’s book “The World Without Us”). There would cease to be an environmental problem, even in the absence of new technologies.
I drive an SUV. I’m not having any children (which has nothing to do with wanting to save the environment). Net/net I’m one of the most unintentionally positive forces for the environment going.
Join me, won’t you? Or don’t. I could care less, actually. Just don’t drive a Prius and have more than one child while thinking you’re an environmentalist. That would be hypocritical. Like Al Gore.
