A Conversation With Carl Pope, Chairman of the Sierra Club - Daniel Fromson - Life - The Atlantic
At its heart environmentalism is the struggle to apply simple ethical rules—though shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, clean up the milk you spilled-- in a world in which science informs us that flipping my light switch may help destroy a community hundreds of miles away in West Virginia, or that the way I choose to get to work in the morning may impact the frequency of deaths from flooding in Bangladesh. Modern technology, a global economy, and scientific knowledge make living ethically almost unbearably challenging.

what about all the banglideshi's burning truck tires does that have anything to do with us dying in the USA?
Even so, the hot air emanating from Pope may be evem more harmful to the poor folks in Bangladesh. I recommend that he therefore stop exhaling.
