I note he said that the apples were air freighted from New Zealand. It has been proven that New Zealand can produce primary sector products at a much lower carbon footprint than Europe due to more efficient practices.

Consume and consumed. The love of stuff, a sure way to be consumed.

Sure, I agree...now. If Cradle to Cradle design ever kicks in then consumerism will be wholly positive. Technology is also key to this process.

runnerrk The earth will always survive, regardless of human action. The question is; can we survive our own vices?

I doubt this man has bothered to read the Wealth of Nations in its entirety. Adam Smith did not "invent" modern capitalism, Hell, he didn't even devise an economic model. Smith's genius lay in his observational abilities, he SUMMARIZED a system which was functioning during his lifetime. With that and a few other complaints aside, this is still a rather interesting documentary.

Pure propaganda. The makers of this video really have no clue about "Global Warming". Go watch The Great Global Warming Swindle video if you want some decent science about climate change.
