But simply means that we're all - regardsless of politics, religion, facts etc - realizing that this is important. That it's one of those universal thruths that everyone agress on - and that clearly needs to be fixed. The real "fight" is not whether is true or important - but rather HOW to fix it - and that's where political differencenses will show. I do - however - share your concerns. "Playing the green card" might be the easy solution in many discussion with no follow up in reality. And it might also call on the "inner police-man" in the lot of us, constantly correcting eachother if we waste energy. Overall, though, I think it's a good thing with the massive attention. It really is a serious issue - and I'm willing to accept the risks of preaching if it means we'll act just a little more consciously when using energy.

I seem to be arguing that conservative ecologists are ecologists because they want to follow the trend. Clearly, that is a flawed argument. So. Backtracking. I've made one point: Ecology and conservatism seems to be getting along better than ever before; and one argument entirely unrelated to this point: Ecology seems to a fashion trend. Allowing me to correct myself in this way, what do you think? Have I got one right? Or both? Or none? Hm.
