I have to agree with the other posters. You must be kidding when you devote half of your article to those few individuals who still think that emitting 5.74 trillion kg of carbon every year from burning fossil fuels (2007 EPA data) will have no impact on the planet. I know that in journalism school they teach you this technique of creating controversy where there isn't any, but is it really useful?

Good afternoon. I used to think that the brain was the most wonderful organ in my body. Then I realized who was telling me this.
I am from Guinea and bad know English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Cartoonist steve nyman offers cartooning workshops at schools in the new york tri state area."
Thanks :(. Astra.

Whether the consensus on global warming breaks down or not, global production of fossil fuels has peaked or will peak soon and when oil/natural gas deliveries become scarce or hideously expensive people with experience in retrofitting homes to be more energy efficient or solar/wind energy installations will be in high demand!

irrational exuberance? Are you suggesting that there is not an overwhelming need to invoke sustainability in everything we do at this point? The reality is that just for the sake of ongoing demands for water and power we will need to promote a more sustainable ethic. Mostly for self preservation. And, Wikipedia?

Clearly, the NY Times need to find more reliable sources than Wikipedia, and so does U.S. News. I've been part of the green building movement for 20 years, and I would hardly define it as being "noted by irrational exuberance". It is "noted" by an awareness that the way we do things must change, not just in the building industry but in all industries, and that our activities on this planet have to become better aligned with the planet's ability to support them. That's not "irrational exuberance", that's reality.
