When it suits politicians to 'kiss' the 'baby' and extol the virtues of such organizations, they will do so without any qualms. In Australia, we have a Prime Minister who claims that Nuclear energy is 'clean', because it does not emit carbon dioxide! For Australian politicians, anything that brings economic prosperity to our great nation is worth pursuing. That is why legislation has been 'quickly' passed through the Tasmanian parliament allowing Gunns to build an 'environmentally clean' pulp mill. However, they embrace 'greeness', and similarly extol and promote the virtues of the everyday citizen doing his/her bit to lessen so-called global warming. Unfortunately, the whole situation is farcical and can be compared to the ludicrous claims that California is a 'green state'.
