Back to the original topic.
I see increased scarcity and high oil prices as being very detremental to the environment rather and any faint solution.
Scarcity and price will drive oil drilling into ecological preserves to get the money - environment be damned. Scarce oil will lead to more wars over resources. Anyone notice Russia planting their flag on the ocean floor near the North Pole?
More stress in lifestyle and life on the mailand will drive more people here - not less. Those with a few bucks in the bank will escape.
I don't particularly hold the tourists accountable for environmental degredation. I would look toward the locals that are bringing them to the overburdened locales for a buck.
Just the way I see it. Doesn't mean I have a crystal ball that's better than anyone else's.

Assume the best and ask questions.
