Hey Gramme, I understand your cynicism about the trio of politics, religion and ecology. I mean there are lots of powerful interests all around. I always try to find the personal counterparts to this stuff, you know. As above, so below as they say...
So I'd compare it to ethics, character and health on a personal level...it's when humans go into self-denial and self-delusion (one of our strongest traits actually) where we get into trouble, (see Tragedy, Greek). We could certainly argue about abortion and the role of private markets and the Public commons, etc..but when it come sto ecology, like you r personaly health, it kinda has the power to make all the other things kinda moot. Like Hey I just won the lottery, but found out I got terminal cancer. Bummer, eh?
I mean, if we're promoting personal wealth and liberty at the expense of our species health and future propagation, what's the point? I think that would be a matter of some urgency to investigate. Kinda like going to the gym everyday and keeping your diet up to snuff...
