This was the premise I got from your article. I agree. Take technological advances away or even diminish them would promote dissatisfaction among those that have experienced them. Mr. Lockitch I believe you are saying without religious connection, teach a man to fish and he will feed himself. Undermining industrial achievement increases human vulnerability.

I've been thinking along the same lines ever since the "50 million climate refugees" statistic was published by the U.N. Aside from being a large, suitably scary number, one has to wonder what other effects could be driving this migration. Could it possibly be poverty and the relentless search for "something better"? Might it perhaps be influenced by the fact that people living on shorelines (some of the most populous urban centers on the planet) are inherently susceptible to typhoons, which are not driven by climate, but by seismic activity? I have to think that a large part of the "environmental" policy being developed by the U.N. is nothing more than a "spread the wealth" ideal in the hopes that an influx of money to poorer nations will help them alleviate some of the problems they currently deal with. While it may be a compassionate endeavor to help others, the possible unintended consequences (such as you outline in your article) could very well outweigh the original problem. If we are penalized into an essentially pre-industrial revolution state (and let's face it, that's what hard-core environmentalists want), we would be completely incapable of dealing with large-scale disasters. What saved the stragglers in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina? Helicopters that were developed in industrial complexes. True that those industrial centers could be made to emit less pollution, and I don't think that's necessarily a bad idea, but to cripple them with needless regulations and starve them of capital would essentially shut them down. So no more helicopters. Are we to be relegated to relying on search and rescue teams armed only with rowboats and paddles? How many people would die from the lack of "life flights" to emergency rooms? Granted, this is one vastly over-simplified example, but it's just one example that I don't think anyone is actually thinking about. Or, at least, I thought so until I saw your article linked from ClimateDepot.com. Good show and keep up the good work! -James Tallman Mr. Lockitch, I applaud your article.
