That would almost certainly only hurt poor neighbourhoods, and that’s easy for the media to sweep under the rug. They’ve perfected the art of dehumanising the poor.

I think the reality is that we don’t know the consequences. I mean, I’m not saying it shouldn’t happen, but the effects are impossible to predict.

That’s probably why environmentalist movements that tend to be full of only the most conscientious people have shied away from it. They would want to know what they were getting into first.

If things get bad enough that ecoterrorism becomes popular and a wider array of people take up the cause, we’ll probably find out the answer to these questions.
