dihard: Says GMU econ professor regarding yesterday’s Earth Hour, “the WWF should award some special prize to the North Korean government, for that government keeps North Koreans not in any meager “Earth Hour,” or even “Earth Day,” but in what WWFers might call “Earth Decades” — very little light ever. This picture of the Korean peninsula speaks volumes — the Dark Ages today; a society keeping its carbon footprint tiny. Of course, in doing so it keeps itself also desperately poor, often even to the point of starvation.” Great post. It’s true. Everyone’s going eco-crazy without defining the limits or goals - it’s just a direction. Green this, green that. Green tennis shoes. Eco-gift wrap. If we don’t come to our senses, it’s going to be dark green, as in, The Dark Ages.
This image says a lot about an evil totalitarian regime but nothing about North Korea’s concern for its carbon footprint.
