Big Government and the Environment

Big Government and the Environment - According to Greens, liberals, and Al Gore, the only answer to our world's environmental problem is more, bigger government intervention in the economy, from grandiloquent world-wide agreements like the Kyoto Accords, down to government planning of the economy with an alleged nod to the environment.

Of course, you don't need to be a Green to notice the absurdity of this - the world's worst polluters have been the biggest governments. The USSR, the Warsaw Pact, and Communist China were/are the world's worst polluters, along with most of the socialist third world.

"But wait", say the liberals, "how about more civilized socialist governments?"

OK, how about 'em? Let's see how the European Union is doing.
