Okay, I am sorry to burst that one, but I am a member of the national board of Norways biggest youth enviromental organization, and I can promise you that noen of the above is true as far as we are conserned.
We are above all supporting technology, as progress is the best way to manage without fossil fuels. Right now our government planned on building ancient gas plants, but partly because of the enviromental lobby, they have decided to build modern CO2-free plants instead. We also want progress in the developement of energy-saving technology.
As far as people are conserned, human civilization is the very thhing we fight to protect. The nature isn't really at risk here, it has always adapted, and humans are just a little glimpse in the billions of years of life on earth. There are thousands of factors much more important to nature than humans. When talking about global warming, we are focusing on its effect on humans, not nature. Nature experience great changes in the climate constantly, and always adapt. Humans, however, are more reliant on the current climate, and might face problems when changes are coming too fast.
Uuh....anti-bathing...I shouldn't really have to comment on that, but I shower everyday (with an energy-saving technology shower, mind you
) and so do all of my enviromentalist friends.
