Hasbeen: "thinkabit I can see you've been well brainwashed by some ratbag greenie mates."

I've no idea why you would say this. When it comes to CO2, global warming and impending doom I'm definitely not in the "green" camp. Here's a comment that I made back in 2016 that details my stance on GW: https://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=7427#229198

Indeed, in general I'm one of the most anti-green people you could meet. Because for me the environment is just whatever exists on the surface of the planet at any given time. For example, whether part of the surface is rain-forests or mining sites, its all just part of the natural environment.
Almost everyone I know (even extreme-greenies) say the termites and a mounds they build across the country are part of the natural environment, so is a beaver and its dam in a picturesque stream in Canada and a cute wombat and its burrow in the forests down south.
But it always fascinates me why people don't just draw the logical obvious conclusion from this, like I do, and say that since these are "natural" things then so must be any city that we make, a damn that we build or a mine that we dig. For some illogical reason that I really cannot fathom most seem to think that we are somehow separate-from/not-part-of nature and thus anything that we do that has an impact on the environment isn't natural.
