"You can have your AGW environmentalism or you can help a billion people get out of grinding poverty, but you can't have both."
You can have environmental regulations in the industrialized parts of the world without denying basic amenities to people in non-industrialized parts of the world. I don't know where you get the idea that we can't have both. Part of the search for alternative sources of energy involves providing the impoverished with access to energy.
Why am I even arguing this? All this is, is talking about the extremes of ideology vs practical application. Oh, so like, if someone is for environmentalism at all, they are for denying amenities to the poor? How about a big flat no.
