It's interesting, but I actually have the opposite view, more or less, despite being the other conservative here who things AGW is real. I think AGW is a real civilisational problem, and so it drives me nuts that people are wasting so much time promoting useless, trivial, silly, enforced externalities like recycling. Why do you care about a river being clean if it's going to dry up from AGW? it's logically inconsistent! So I think we should eliminate environmental impact statements for any project that would result in a net carbon reduction. I think environmentalists are contributing to the problem by refusing to support triage measures, in particular, making electricity generation carbon-zero worldwide by mass nuclearisation. My driving a straight six instead of a Prius is irrelevant, and if I toss my glass bottles into a recycling bin in my township, the CO2 required to truck them 70 miles to the nearest recycling centre makes the world worse off than if they just traveled 5 miles to the landfill. But what matters is coal-fired power plants.
