Civil Rights will not narrow and become boring

["M. Roston" <mroston@blue.weeg.uiowa.edu>]

last year on these very channels, I remember some concern arising over the
environmental regulation topic.

Many were concerned that debates would become dominated by deep
ecology/anthropoecentrism type debates.  I heard similar arguments at UNI,
but not much afterward.  I also heard and ran a wealth of kritik
arguments, such as the kritik of wilderness, the arrogance of humanism,
self-validating reduction, kneejerk environmentalism, ecofeminism, social
ecology, ecosocialism, scapegoating, Heidgegger, and more.

Many were also concerned that we would be having a lot of climate
debates(true), and that many of those climate debates would be dominated
by Ice Age vs. Warming argumentation.  Instead, we had sulfur dioxide
cooling, the merits of carbon taxes vs. tradable emission permit systems,
economic effects, carbon dioxide saturation/natural gas shift, carbon
dioxide fertilization, oil price stability, states, clinton, climate
regimes, unilateral vs. multilateral action, and lots of other very
interesting arguments.


we are always looking for a way to one up one another, and we will do it
on every topic.  rarely does it truly get boring.
