Please Mr. Mason those that applaud him, take an hour and google. " Health of the Earth" or such terms. The MSM whose survival depends on the continuance of the "(excess) Consumer Society is not going to educate not about to awaken their readers from their "fools paradise".  You'll have to DIY. 

People , such as Mr. Mason that look only at "THE ECONOMY" are blind to the fact that "THE ECONOMY" will soon cease to exist as we are killing the earth.

It's like an athlete being told that the steroids he's taking are on the point of killing his vital organs and therefore him. To which he replies "I must continue taking them or my performance/ career will suffer". 

PS It's an undeniable fact that CO is increasingly acidifying the oceans and this will eventually kill the sea plants such as plankton that supply the oxygen we need to live.....regardless of global warming .
