Rarely have I read Mark Steyn in better form than in this piece. Did you know that Prince Charles says we have 96 months left to The End because of rampant consumerism and failed capitalism? Things were much better when peasants just had their hovels, no nasty cars to get around in (actually no need to get around), etc., etc. Then there is Gar Smith of the Earth Island Institute who paints a rosy picture of charming African village life as a substitute for our current society, conveniently leaving out, as Steyn says, its "vibrantly rampant disease and charmingly unspoilt life expectancy in the mid-forties." This is a great read and a great laugh with a serious point about the seriously screwed-up worldviews of these environmental nut cases.
