If you are on the Green bandwagon, you might find this eco-conscious article of interest. The question posed is, does Al Gore’s hysteria global warming doom us all to an “Inconvenient Lifestyle” as the planet’s populace bow in obeisance to his Draconian “Inconvenient Truth”. Effective global networking has helped transmit his sky is falling green message at a dramatic pace.

“Corporate social responsibility” includes caring for the environment, the League of Corporate Foundations says, and I couldn’t agree more.

I wonder though if, while sweating through their walk, they felt that Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth” can only be overcome by an Inconvenient Lifestyle.

Not necessarily so, as I discovered during a weekend in the mountains of New Hampshire.”.

The writer goes on to describe a mountain lodge built along stringent green criteria.

He suggests that yet another Rachel Carson is needed, seeming not to recognize that Gore is the new Rachel Carson (and he invented the internet too).

“Though nearly eradicated decades ago, malaria has resurged with a vengeance because DDT, the most effective agent of mosquito control, has been essentially discarded — discarded based not on scientific concerns about its safety, but on environmental dogma advanced by Carson.

The crusade against DDT began with Carson’s antipesticide diatribe Silent Spring, published in 1962 at the height of the worldwide antimalaria campaign.
