In any case I consider my self an environmentalist, but I don't think we're going to get much accomplished if the fringe groups are able to make it look like the whole movement is driven by pseudo-science.This is the crux of the matter, and the sad fact is that even the major groups are being run as fringe groups in a way that alienates the "silent majority" - the suburban families who care but who don't want to be protesting in the streets.
I know the shame and indignation in the general population when Greenpeace runs blockades every time a US warship enters an Australian port (just in case it might be carrying nuclear weapons). Protesting in the middle of the city just pisses people off - lobby groups and PACs in boardrooms and cabinet rooms is what is needed.
Cheers Russell C.
