You sure you haven't got the blinkers on? We've gone from "I doubt the evidence" to "I doubt its significance". A lot of doubting going on. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for more doubting amongst the environmentalist movement. However, I'd love to see it more evenly spewed.

The opportunity cost, once environmental effect is taken into account, is not passed on to the end purchaser. Be it intensive farming and the impact of nitrates, to organic farming and resources taken away from forms of environmental investments.
