Besides, what makes you think there's any problem with the rainforests or the oceans; not evidence, not (heaven forbid) scientists!?Quote from jem:
that does not counter the point I was making.

The really good argument is grounded in economics.

If you want to pollute it or put a body of water it at risk to make a profit... you should pay for the costs of cleaning it up.
When you let a company get away with doing things to cheaply you get a fukishima.
