Think about it, how many times has an environmental campaign won over industry interests. Very few. The extremists are clearly on the industry side of this argument.
'A total of $10.85m in taxpayer’s money paid to the same activist NGO’s threatening our industries. Then our complicit treasurer last week slammed the Greenpeace plans as "deeply irresponsible" and "completely irrational and destructive", yet he is paying members of the group? '
That amount pales in comparison to taxpayer money paid out to industry. Funds given to NGOs is usually about outsourcing social responsibilities to the non-government sector and thus being seen to care about the environment.
There is much hysteria about the Greens threatening certain industries but very little concern about the impact of these industries in relation to environmental degradation.
If we are still so primitive that we cannot see the relationship between environment and human wellbeing and survival it looks like it might only take a disaster for the world to wake up.
Those destructive industries don't seem to consider their own threats to other industries including tourist based industry, when going about their business.
There is room for a balance including some thoughts about the energy mix and changes to consumption. There is no doubt that with a growing population and economic development in the developing world that people will have to start being more careful in their consumption. It is really not that difficult.
