I do care about the planet. That's why I recycle, watch my energy consumption, try to minimize solid waste, and am a proponent of sustainable nuclear energy.

I always forget the guy's name - but it was actually a fairly conservative guy who predicted widespread famine and social collapse by the 1800's in 1789 or so. I think it is the Mattheson prediction. But, they've been selling this for a LONG time, and their models never accurately account for technological advances. One day, the crash will come before technology can solve the issue, and they'll go, "We told you so!"
