We can not totally blame the media, these groups are usualy the loudest,
and best at getting their messages out. The responsible, educated,
scientists working in these feilds rarely get their message out that we are
realy somewhere between eutopea and distopea. You don't get to hear what
they have to say! We can not blame the public for the paralysis on these
issues when these poor people can't figure out wich "expert" at wich
extreme is correct!
The fact is we are insulting the environment faster than we understand it.
Therefore surpises, many of them nasty, are virtually garenteed.
There will always be Rushes, Bushes, and others who are unwilling or unable
to understand these sometimes complex issues, but I think most of the
public can. There is a need for education.
